Hi

I currently have a 386-40, 8Mb RAM, 100Mb, Boca SVGA and MS Bus Mouse.

What are the system requirements for running 386BSD with XFree86; I do
not need any networking, mail etc. support.  Can this support be removed?

Is it necessary to have the sources?  Where can I find information on
what X is all about?  Is it possible to run DOS software from 386BSD?

Email replies are preferable because news expires fairly rapidly here.

Thanks for any assistance
Ian
