7 1.11 veego The minimal configuration requires 4M of RAM and about 75M of disk
8 1.7 chopps space. To install the entire system requires much more disk space,
9 1.7 chopps and to run X or compile the system, more RAM is recommended. (4M of
10 1.7 chopps RAM will actually allow you to compile, however it won't be speedy. X
11 1.7 chopps really isn't usable on a 4M system.)

20 1.1 chopps
21 1.1 chopps As you may note the recommended size of /usr is 20M greater than
22 1.7 chopps needed. This is to leave room for a kernel source and compile tree as
23 1.7 chopps you will probably want to compile your own kernel. (GENERIC is large
24 1.7 chopps and bulky to accommodate all people).
25 1.1 chopps
26 1.4 jtc If you only have 4M of fast memory, you should make your swap partition
27 1.4 jtc larger, as your system will be doing much more swapping.
