The minimal configuration requires 4 MB of RAM and ~60 MB of disk space.
|
|
To install the entire system requires much more disk space, and to run
|
|
X or compile the system, more RAM is recommended, as
|
|
.Nx
|
|
with 4 MB of RAM feels like
|
|
.Tn Solaris
|
|
with 4 MB of RAM - slow.
|
|
Note that until you have around 16 MB of RAM, getting more RAM is more
|
|
important than getting a faster CPU.
