.Nx*M
|

\*V runs on Multibus Sun2 machines, including:
|
|
.Bl -column -offset indent 2/120 2/170 2/100U
|

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
|
|
(approx. 100 MB additional space is necessary for full sources).
|
|
To compile the system, more RAM is recommended.
|
|
Good performance requires 7 MB of RAM.

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

Anything else is up to you!

|
|
.Pp
|
|
As you may note, the recommended size of
|
|
.Pa /usr
|
|
is 100 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.
|
|
.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).
