X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Date: Wed, 22 Jun 1994 04:51:18 GMT Lines: 19 I'm trying to install NetBSD on Dell 320n. Now this is a system that I have run ESIX V4.0 on for some time. I only has a 60 meg harddisk and NetBSD says that it will run in that but it would appear that this is only the case if the NFS install procedure is used. Could someone let me know if you can even attempt an install on a system with less than 80meg. Also acording to Dell the HD cannot be upgraded. Or does anybody have a version of the install kernel that supports the Xircom Token Ring adapter so that I could use the NFS install option?
