[comp.sys.3b1] BSD port to 3b1 Finished! and pspice

n138ct@tamuts.tamu.edu (Brent Burton) (04/16/91)

Well, after a week of non-stop work, BSD has been started up on the 3b1.
To run BSD 4.3, you must have 12Megs ram, 300MB of disk space and a good
imagination.

OK,OK, I didn't get BSD working (don't intend to) but I have another
question.

My question pertains to the 3b1 port of the Spice program. (or pspice?).
If I remember correctly, the compressed file is 1.8MB.  Do we need the
entire file?  What is in it, both source and docs?  Before I download
this beast I'd like to find out what exactly I need.

Thanks, all.

p.s. If you really feel like flaming, take 10 deep breaths and then email
     me if you think this was just totally awful.

I bet that with an even better imagination, you could strip all of the
executables, and remove the man pages and networking code,
and get that down to only 8Meg of RAM and 200MB of disk space.

And we haven't even started to use the shared libraries yet. :-)
