\*V runs on Multibus Sun2 machines, including:

The minimal configuration requires 4 MB of RAM and about 130 MB of disk
|
|
space.
|
|
To install the entire system requires much more disk space.
|
|
To compile the system, more RAM is recommended.
|
|
Good performance requires 7 MB of RAM.
|
|
A good rule of thumb is to have a swap partition twice the size of the
|
|
amount of RAM in your machine.
|
|
You will probably want to compile your own kernel, as
|
|
.Li GENERIC
|
|
is large and bulky to accommodate all people.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note that the \*M installation procedure uses a
|
|
.Em miniroot
|
|
image
|
|
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).
