: 	Is 90MB enough?  I'm interested in networking stuff (like
: 	telnet, ftp, and archie) and of course the system itself.
: 	How about for X?
: 	Is 8MB RAM enough?
: 	Can BSD386 be on a drive other than a primary hard drive?
: 
i.)	a faq file (from terry lambert) is available via ftp from (the mother of
	all battles) agate.berkeley.edu, /pub/386bsd/386BSD-0.1/unofficial/...
ii.)	90MB should be enough (but not very much ;-| )
iii.)	the networking capabilities are part of system.
iv.)	X with 90MB ??? are you kidding ? (what about 200-300MB ? ;-} )
v.)	8MB should be enough
vi.)	yes and no ;-) it depends how your system boots (there are some 
	'unofficial' solutions around, for more info -> read: comp.unix.bsd
