Sorry if my last attempt made it onto the net.  It was posted somewhere
but evidently not here.  Why won't post and pico cooperate?

Anyway, I am wondering if there is any chance of getting 386bsd
running on a 386dx, 25 mhz with a single 89 meg hard drive
and 2 meg ram.  I am ccurrenty using about 30 meg of ms-dos stuff
(sorry about sp above - lousy editor) that I would like to keep along
with msdos.  I'm thinking of bsd mainly as a learning tool for unix.
