hardware revision 1.5 
      1 NetBSD/amiga 1.1 runs on any amiga that has a 68020 or better CPU
      2 with some form of FPU and MMU.  The minimal configuration requires
      3 4M of RAM and about 65M of disk space.  To install the entire system
      4 requires much more disk space, and to run X or compile the system,
      5 more RAM is recommended.  (4M of RAM will actually allow you to
      6 compile, however it won't be speedy.  X really isn't usable on a
      7 4M system)
      8 
      9 Here is a table of recommended HD partition sizes for a full install:
     10 	partition:	advise,	with X,	needed,	with X
     11 	root (/)	15M	15M	10M	10M
     12 	user (/usr)	65M	100M	45M 	80M
     13 	swap		----- 2M for every M ram -----
     14 	local (/local)	up to you
     15 
     16 
     17 As you may note the recommended size of /usr is 20M greater than
     18 needed. This is to leave room for a kernel source and compile tree
     19 as you will probably want to compile your own kernel. (GENERIC is
     20 large and bulky to accommodate all people).
     21 
     22 If you only have 4M of fast memory, you should make your swap partition
     23 larger, as your system will be doing much more swapping.
