5 <h1><center>Lists of supported hardware configurations.</center></h1>
7 <p>Below you will find supported configurations for each of the flavors of
8 PicoBSD as of version @VER@, as well as the lists of programs included.</p>
10 <h3>Dialup version:</h3>
12 <li>minimum 386SX CPU (either Intel, AMD, Cyrix etc - doesn't matter),
14 <li>minimum 8MB of RAM (some people reported success
15 stories with 4MB only, but I certainly don't recommend it)
17 <li>a modem (for Internet connection using PPP protocol), either internal or
18 external, connected to COM1-COM4. NOTE: COM3 and COM4 are disabled by default
19 - you have to explicitly enable them in UserConfig.
21 <li>an Ethernet card for LAN connection:
23 <li> ed - default settings: port 0x280, irq 10, iomem 0xd8000
24 <p>NE2000 compatible ISA and PCI cards, most SMC and 3C503</p>
26 <li> ep - default settings: port 0x300, irq 10,
29 <li> ie - default settings: port 0x300, irq 10, iomem 0xd0000
30 <p>Intel EtherExpress ISA, StarLan, 3C507</p>
32 <li> le - default settings: port 0x300, irq 5, iomem 0xd0000
33 <p>DEC EtherWorks 2 and 3</p>
35 <li> lnc - default settings: port 0x280, irq 10, iomem 0xd0000
38 <li> de - DEC21040-based PCI cards,
40 <li> fxp - Intel EtherExpress Pro/100B PCI card
44 <li>10 virtual consoles plus console utilities (vidcontrol, kbdcontrol)
46 <li>basic networking tools: ifconfig, route, ping, ns (mini-netstat),
49 <li>basic remote access tools: telnet, ftp and SSH
51 <li>basic OS tools: shell, mount (FreeBSD, DOS, Linux), umount, ps, kill, vm
52 (mini-vmstat), fsck, df, etc..
54 <li>editable configuration (/etc directory and kernel configuration)
58 <li>simple help system for people new to FreeBSD
61 <h3>Router-like version:</h3>
63 <li>minimum 386SX CPU,
65 <li>minimum 10 MB of RAM (8MB for basic setup)
67 <li>support for PPP protocol on dialup/leased lines (using ijppp)
69 <li>support for several types of Ethernet cards (two of each kind) - see above
70 for descriptions: ed, ie, ep, de, fxp, lnc
72 <li>network daemons: routing daemon (routed), inetd, telnetd.
74 <li>IP Firewall and NAT daemon (natd).
76 <li>more OS utilities, including: syslogd, mount_nfs, network logins via
79 <li>this version doesn't include: ssh, ftp
82 <h3>Router version:</h3>
84 <li>minimum 386SX CPU,
86 <li>minimum 4 MB of RAM (6MB for running some additional daemons)
88 <li>support for PPP protocol on dialup/leased lines (using kernel ppp)
90 <li>support for several types of Ethernet cards - see above
91 for descriptions: ed, ie, ep, de, fxp, lnc
93 <li>custom init(8), which includes also a simple command-line interface,
94 and its own way to configure the system on startup.
96 <li>IP Firewall and NAT daemon (natd - it requires additional portion of RAM).
98 <li>very few OS tools, except those absolutely necessary,
102 <p>There's also the fourth version, which can serve as a dialin server - I hope
103 you'll find it as a cheap yet reliable alternative to commercial communication
104 servers :-)) This work is still in progress, and
105 <A HREF="beta.html">I need some people to test</a> the early
106 dial-in server version.</p>
