Howdy!  I have a decent machine lying around here, and was wondering what
it would take to get the 386BSD up and running on it...?

For example, will it run on a 16MB Machine with an ATI Graphics Ultra+ 
graphics card...?  How much disk space does it require to build and run?

I also currently have 2 IDE Drives, and an Adaptec 1542B SCSI Controller
with 1 disk on it.  Will that cause any problems...?

Any pointers to FAQs, README files, and to where I can actually FIND the
source would be GREATLY appreciated.


Thanks a bunch!

Toodlepip!
Marc 'em.
