Hello, Mattias,
I'm a NetBSD/mac68k beginner on an LCIII myself. I've got 20 megs of
RAM (That's one 16 meg SIMM added), and I definitely recommend you
upgrade. Memory is cheap! At least get 16 megs; go all the way with 32
if you think you can.
At the moment, I'm doing everything on a 100 meg Zip disk. I can't do
much, but I'm having a lot of fun with what I can do! I recommend you
play around with NetBSD on that 80 meg drive for awhile until you get used
to it, then pop for something bigger (I'd say at least 2 gigs.)
Have fun!
