10 It's a one floppy version of FreeBSD (please see http://www.freebsd.org),
11 configured as a stand-alone router. It offers also IP Firewall capabilities.
13 You can find more information on the home page of this project at:

17 What are minimal requirements?
18 ------------------------------
20 * 386SX CPU or better (there is an FPU emulator in kernel)
21 * 4MB RAM - the more the better. The system will run a couple of small
22 processes in 4MB - enough to configure static routes and IP Firewall. If
23 you want to run routed(8), you'll need at least 6MB.
24 * Modem sitting on COM1-COM4 (default is to use COM2), if you want to have
26 * Network card: compatible with NE2000, PCI Intel, 3Com 3c509 or with DEC
27 chipsets (ed, ep, fxp and de drivers). The kernel supports two of them
28 (i.e. 7 total) plus two PPP connections (tun interfaces). So you can
29 easily build something like router with as many as 9 outlets :-)

36 I'll be glad hearing from you about your experiences with PicoBSD. Thanks.
