Single Board Computers.
|

.Pp
|
|
The minimal configuration requires 8 MB of RAM and ~200 MB of disk space.
|
|
To install the entire system requires much more disk space (approx.
|
|
600 MB additional space is necessary for full sources. Double that if you
|
|
want to recompile it all!). To run X (clients only) or compile the system,
|
|
more RAM is recommended. Good performance requires 16 MB of RAM, or 32 MB
|
|
when running the X Window System.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note that you can install
|
|
.Nx
|
|
\*V
|
|
on a system with only 4 MB of onboard RAM, but you will need to use a
|
|
VMEbus RAM card with at least another 4 MB to augment the onboard
|
|
memory in order to actually install the system.

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

Note that the
|
|
.Nx*M
|
|
installation procedure uses a
|
|
.Em miniroot
|
|
image which is placed into the swap area of the disk. The swap partition
|
|
must be large enough to hold this miniroot image (\*> 7.5 MB).
