Message-ID: <jeff.709347506@extro.ucc.su.OZ.AU> Sender: news@ucc.su.OZ.AU Nntp-Posting-Host: extro.ucc.su.oz.au Organization: Sydney University Computing Service, Sydney, NSW, Australia Date: Wed, 24 Jun 1992 00:58:26 GMT Lines: 26 G'day, I am considering installing the Beta of 386 BSD and would like to have answers to the following questions before I do so: a. will 386BSD 'cohabitiate' with DOS - i.e. can you have BSD on the machine and still boot DOS of another partition? b. Are there any major problems with the latest release of BSD? (i.e. is it reasonably stable?) c. How much memory and disk space do you require for the system? d. How much space does the source take? e. Can 'nn' (the news reader) and cnews be compiled and run on the system without too much effort? I will summarise the replies and repost if necessary.
