It runs on a 4 MB Sun 3/50, too. However, even with a fairly stripped down kernel it starts swapping as soon as you log in. If you can live with the speed, though, it works fine. I used one as a router for ages. You beat me. I've run a i386/20 machine with 5 MB of RAM and 40 MB of hard disk as a router for 1.5 years... 10 MB swap, 30 MB /. I installed bin10/etc10, later bin11/etc11, and compiled a customized kernel on another machine. It was very sluggy to log in for maintainance, but most of the time it would just run its Ethernet and its 2 serial lines. -is -- Ignatios Souvatzis (also ignatios@cs.uni-bonn.de) about WABI, MS-Windows emulator on SPARCs: Budi Rahardjo: "Sure it is nice, but there are still too many bugs.[...] every session it crashes at least 3 times for me."
