I'm using a 40Mhz 386 motherboard (AMD processor) IDE controller + Western Digital 200MB drive ET4000 SVGA double serial + parallel IO board all this stuff no-name made in Taiwan. The only known brand board is my SMC Elite 8003 Ethernet board. I had a 50MB DOS 5.0 partition on the disk. I booted from the floppy configured the hard disk and after 5 minutes I was installing bindist, srcdist and etcdist from my SparcStation (and jumping with joy!) Now I'm using the 0.1.40 kernel available on agate and have compiled X11R5 and OSF/Motif without problems in just about 150MB. -- Enrico Badella Internet: eb@felix.sublink.org Soft*Star s.r.l. eb@icnucevx.cnuce.cnr.it Via Camburzano 9 Phone: +39-11-746092 10143 Torino, ITALY Fax: +39-11-746487
