\*V runs on most Sun3 machines, including:

Note that
|
|
.Nx*M
|
|
includes support for
|
|
.Sq "Sun3X"
|
|
machines, which used to be supported with a separate
|
|
.Nx Ns /sun3x
|
|
distribution.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The minimal configuration requires 4 MB of RAM and about 100 MB of disk
|
|
space.
|
|
To install the entire system requires much more disk space.
|
|
To run X or compile the system, more RAM is recommended.
|
|
Good performance requires 8 MB of RAM, or 16 MB when running the
|
|
X Window System.
|
|
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 (10 MB).
