out, and spot inconsistencies. By God that was painful. And I'm not finished yet -- this commit just gets the files into a semblence of order. Now I have to go through them excising all the dodgy HTML practices, and doing a consistency check. Argh! Translators, you can ignore this commit.

|
|
<p>FreeBSD requires a PC-type personal computer running with an Intel,
|
|
AMD, Cyrix, or compatible 386, 486, or Pentium CPU. You computer
|
|
needs an ISA, EISA, VESA, or PCI bus. You will also need 5 megabytes
|
|
of RAM to install FreeBSD (but 4 megabytes to run it after
|
|
installation). For best performance, you should have 8 megabytes or
|
|
more. 60MB of disk space is required for a minimal installation.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>FreeBSD supports most popular Ethernet adaptors,
|
|
SCSI controllers, IDE hard drives, multiport serial cards, CD-ROM
|
|
drives, tape drives, sound cards, mice, and other hardware. See both
|
|

|
</a>and the &a.latest.not;release notes</a> for complete information
