.Nx*M

|
\*V runs on Acorn systems with
|
|
.Tn ARM6
|
|
or later processors,
|
|
with or without a FPU coprocessor.
|
|
The minimal configuration is said to require 8 MB of RAM and 140 MB of
|
|
disk space, though we do not know of anyone running with a system quite
|
|
this minimal today.
|
|
8 MB of RAM might allow you to run X and/or compile, but it
|
|
won't be speedy.
|
|
Note that until you have around 16 MB of RAM, getting more RAM is more
|
|
important than getting a faster CPU.
