.Nx \*V

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 around 24 MB of RAM (not including CHIPMEM!)
|
|
and about 250 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.
|
|
(24 MB of RAM will actually allow you to compile,
|
|
however it won't be speedy.
|
|
X really isn't usable on a 24 MB system.)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
You will probably want to compile your own kernel.
|
|
.Li GENERIC
|
|
is large and bulky in order to accommodate all people.
|
|
For example, most people's machines have an FPU, so you do not need the
|
|
bulky FPU_EMULATE option.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If you have less than 8 MB of fast memory, you should make your swap
|
|
partition large, as your system will be a lot of swapping.
|
|
In addition, do
|
|
.Em not
|
|
place your swap partition onto a old small (and normally slow) disk!
