I believe you can install OpenSolaris (& OS by default only installs into zfs) with as little as 768M, but it will (in my exp) run terribly. Even with 4G on a dual-core 64bit lap-top it's pretty sluggish: like FreeBSD 7 on a 300mHz p2 sluggish. -- -- _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
