Okay, you win.

Yes, in my eyes, i'm totally sure of this.

Oh noooo, you're totally wrong. I'm running 386bsd only on two different
386/sx with 16 MHz, too. If this'll take one our, it's a lot. Most of
the time (at least, it seems so) will take the ``make depend'', i.e.
if you design a new driver and only make minor changes (no re-config),
you'll have to do this only once. The re-compilation after something has
changed is done in less than 15 minutes! Seems that those simple boxes run
quite faster than with dos. But you should have some ram inside and not
too few swap space.
