runs on any Amiga that has a 68020 or better CPU with
|
|
some form of MMU, and on 68060 DraCos.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nx
|
|
does not, and will never, run on run on
|
|
A1000, A500, A600, A1200, A2000, A4000/EC030, CDTV and CD32
|
|
systems that are not enhanced by a CPU board.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For 68020 and 68030 systems, a FPU is recommended but not required for the
|
|
system utilities.
|
|
68LC040, 68040V and 68LC060 systems don't work correctly at the moment.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The minimal configuration requires 6 MB of RAM (not including CHIPMEM!)
|
|
and about 75 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. (6 MB of RAM will actually allow you to compile,
|
|
however it won't be speedy. X really isn't usable on a 6 MB system.)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Here is a table of recommended HD partition sizes for a full install:
|
|
.Bl -column -offset indent Partition Suggested 100xMBxx Needed 100xMB
|
|
.It Partition Ta Suggested Ta +\ X Ta Needed Ta +\ X
|
|
.It /\ (root) Ta "25 MB" Ta "25 MB" Ta "20 MB" Ta "20 MB"
|
|
.It /usr Ta "245 MB" Ta "270 MB" Ta "120 MB" Ta "145 MB"
|
|
.It /var Ta "20 MB" Ta "20 MB" Ta "5 MB" Ta "5 MB"
|
|
.It swap Ta Em "2*RAM below 32 MB, then up to you"
|
|
.El
|
|
.(item -offset indent
|
|
Anything else is up to you!
|
|
.item)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
As you may note the recommended size of
|
|
.Pa /usr
|
|
is 125 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.
|
|
For example, most people's machines have an FPU, so you do not need the
|
|
bulky FPU_EMULATE option.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Preconfigured or precompiled packages are installed below
|
|
.Pa /usr/pkg
|
|
by default.
|
|
You should either make
|
|
.Pa /usr
|
|
larger (if you intend to install a lot of them), make
|
|
.Pa /usr/pkg
|
|
an additional partition, use the
|
|
.Fl p
|
|
option to
|
|
.Ic pkg_add
|
|
to install them in a different place, or link
|
|
.Pa /usr/pkg
|
|
to a different place.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If you only have less than 8 MB of fast memory, you should make your swap
|
|
partition larger, as your system will be doing much more swapping.
|
|
Especially: do
|
|
.Em not
|
|
place it onto a old small (and normally slow) disk!
