Configuring Your PC for BSDI Products

This short checklist shows how you can configure your PC to run BSD/OS
and the BSD/OS Internet Gateway Server.  You'll need a supported CPU,
floppy disk, bus architecture, a disk system, and (probably) a CDROM
reader.  Optional higher speed Super VGA cards can enhance the X window
system.  Floating point hardware is supported if present, emulated if not.

REQUIRED COMPONENTS

[] CPU              80386, 80486, or Pentium.  Any speed.  Intel or Cyrix.
                    Motherboards:   Zeos and Acer are reported to have problems
                    running BSD/OS.

[] Bus Architecture ISA, EISA, VESA Localbus, PCI.  BSD/OS does not support MCA
                    (MicroChannel).

[]  RAM             4 MB minimum.  8 MB when using the X window system.  Add
                    about 0.5 MB to the minimum for each extra user connecting
                    to the system.  256MB maximum.

[] Floppy Drive     3.5" 1.44MB

[] Display          Any PC monitor and keyboard (for booting)

[] Disk Subsystem   Either IDE disk drives (just about any kind) or a supported
                    SCSI adaptor and just about any SCSI hard disk.  125 MB for
                    bare-bones BSD/OS; 225 MB including X Window system.
                    [] IDE
                    [] SCSI Disk + SCSI Adaptor (choose one below)
                       []  for ISA:  Adaptec 1540B, 1542B, 1542C, 1542CF;
			   BusLogic BT-542, BT-545
                       []  for EISA: Adaptec 1740, 1742, 1742A; BusLogic BT-747
                           (BT-742 is supported)
                       []  for VESA LocalBus: BusLogic BT-445S, BT-445C
                       []  for PCI: BusLogic BT-946

[] CDROM            Any SCSI CDROM drive (with supported adaptor above)
                    Mitsumi (ISA-based CRMC LU-002S, LU-005S, FX-001,
			or FX-001D)
                    Note: Sound card SCSI adaptors are not supported at this
			time
