You need at least 5 MB RAM in order to install (by now), but once it's installed, i know of Martin Welk who's running a FreeBSD router with 3 MB, and i've even got the kernel to boot within 1920 KB (though it ain't actually an operable system). A simple packet-forwarder doesn't require much resources, almost everything is done inside the kernel. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
