I've install the 386bsd binary distribution and XFree386(still having problems).
I tried Installing the source distribution but ran out of space. Ideally I
would like to install the etc distribution in addition to the source
distribution and have some space left over for whatever. I've come to
conclusion that I need to buy another hard drive. My question is what
type of drive is best for a 386bsd second drive(IDE,SCSI,etc)?
How about size? Anything to avoid? My current system is :
Gateway 386/33Mhz
120mb ide drive(90mb partition for 386bsd)
4meg RAM
Thanks in advance.
