<0> right, but say you were going to build a minimalist internet terminal with video/music/web content. Would linux be a better free choice than bsd? or can bsd travel as light as linux?
<0> Haha, you could welcome us back, but I think you are the ones to return.
<1> :P
<2> back
<1> front!

<3> lol
<2> back
<4> i do not feel like taking my damn dog to the vet today
<4> not with only 2 hours of sleep
<5> do it, punk***
<4> i am
<4> my dog needs stiches
<4> im not gonna neglect that
<6> Does anyone here have any experience installing BSD on an external hard drive from within OS X?
<5> shouldn't be much to it
<5> find a VM
<5> boot from an install image
<6> Well, I'd need to burn it out, then?
<5> no
<5> VMs can usually boot from an image on your hard disk
<6> Oh really?
<6> Nice.
<5> yeah
<5> use qemu if you can, it's open source
<5> but vmware-server will work, too
<5> and of course there are plenty of others
<6> Could a (very sparse) BSD be installed on say, a 128 MB memory stick?
<5> yes of course
<5> there are probably BSD redistributions designed specifically for that purpose
<5> and likely subprojects in freebsd, netbsd, and openbsd for that purpose, too
<5> and it doesn't even have to be that sparse
<5> 128mb is a fair amount of space
<6> hmm
<6> what about a distro that boots on both i386 and ppc from same memory sticK?
<5> hrmmm
<5> I'm not authority in this area mind you
<5> I think that would become difficult with only 128mb
<5> but I could be wrong
<6> Could it be done with 300 gigs?
<5> you could always do something very minimal that uses the interweb to download and use whatever's necessary
<5> 300 megs?
<6> gigs
<6> I have a 300 gig external hard drive
<6> That I'd very much like to use for a double-boot system.
<6> That is
<6> A PPC/i386 bootable BSD thing.
<6> I think I give up on this for now.
<6> Thanks for the help.
