For 68020 and 68030 systems, a FPU is recommended but not required for the
|
|
|
|
|
system utilities.
|

68LC040, 68040V and 68LC060 systems don't work correctly at the moment.

The minimal configuration requires 6 MB of RAM (not including CHIPMEM!)
|
|
|
|
|
and about 75 MB of disk space. To install the entire system requires
|
1999-04-26 23:29:45 +04:00
|
|
|
much more disk space, and to run X or compile the system, more RAM
|
2000-10-10 16:55:15 +04:00
|
|
|
is recommended. (6 MB of RAM will actually allow you to compile,
|
|
|
|
|
however it won't be speedy. X really isn't usable on a 6 MB system.)

As you may note the recommended size of

|
|
|
|
.Pa /usr
|
|
|
|

is 125 MB 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.

For example, most people's machines have an FPU, so you do not need the
|
|
|
|
|
bulky FPU_EMULATE option.

Preconfigured or precompiled packages are installed below
|
|
|
|
|
.Pa /usr/pkg
|
|
|
|

by default.
|
|
|
|
|
You should either make
|
|
|
|
|
.Pa /usr
|
|
|
|
|
larger (if you intend to install a lot of them), make
|
|
|
|
|
.Pa /usr/pkg
|
|
|

|
an additional partition, use the
|
|

.Fl p

option to
|
|
|
|

.Ic pkg_add

.Pa /usr/pkg

If you only have less than 8 MB of fast memory, you should make your swap
|
|
|
|
|
partition larger, as your system will be doing much more swapping.
