.Nx*M
\*V runs on Multibus Sun2 machines, including:
.Bl -column -offset indent 2/120 2/170 2/100U
.It 2/120 Ta 2/170 Ta 2/100U
.El
.Pp
The minimal configuration requires 4 MB of RAM and about 130 MB of disk
2002-06-30 16:57:29 +04:00
space.
To install the entire system requires much more disk space
(approx. 100 MB additional space is necessary for full sources).
2002-06-30 16:57:29 +04:00
To compile the system, more RAM is recommended.
Good performance requires 7 MB of RAM.

Here is a table of recommended HD partition sizes for a full install:

.Bl -column -offset indent Partition Suggested Needed
.It Partition Ta Suggested Ta Needed
.It /\ (root) Ta "20 MB" Ta "15 MB"
.It /usr Ta "210 MB" Ta "110 MB"
.It /var Ta "20 MB" Ta "5 MB"
.It swap Ta Em 2*RAM \&...

Anything else is up to you!
.item)
.Pp
As you may note, the recommended size of
.Pa /usr
is 100 MB greater than
2002-06-30 16:57:29 +04:00
needed.
This is to leave room for a kernel source and compile tree as
you will probably want to compile your own kernel.
.Li ( GENERIC
is large and bulky to accommodate all people).
.Pp
Note that the \*M installation procedure uses a
.Em miniroot
image
2002-06-30 16:57:29 +04:00
which is placed into the swap area of the disk.
The swap partition must be at least as large as the miniroot image (12 MB).
