Hi. I was looking through freebsd, and noticed 2.0 is for 386 and above.

Is there an older version out there maybe, that will run on a 286? I need 
a unix system QUICK. I WILL be getting a pentium in 4 weeks, but i can't 
speed that. I'll have Linux on that. BUT until then, i need a unix system 
on 286. I have been trying MINIX but it won't load.

Someone help me. Thanks... PLEASE point me to the old versions of FreeBSD...
