Raw Normal View History

NetBSD/atari 1.2 runs on a TT030 and a Falcon. An FPU is not required. The
1995-10-09 23:43:23 +03:00
minimum amount of RAM required is 4Mb.
Here is a table of recommended HD partition sizes for a full install:
partition: advise, with X, needed, with X
root (/) 15M 15M 10M 10M
user (/usr) 65M 100M 45M 80M
swap ----- 2M for every M ram (see below) -----
1995-10-09 23:43:23 +03:00
local (/local) up to you
In addition of the rule of thumb for the swap size mentioned below, you
probably want to make sure that the size of the swap partition does not
drop below 20Mb (30Mb for systems with X).
1995-10-09 23:43:23 +03:00
As you may note the recommended size of /usr is 20M greater than
needed. This is to leave room for a kernel source and compile tree
as you will probably want to compile your own kernel. (GENERIC is
large and bulky to accommodate all people, BOOT is small and might
not have all the features you want).
