Single Board Computers.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The minimal configuration requires 8 MB of RAM and ~200 MB of disk space.
|
|
To install the entire system requires much more disk space.
|
|
To run X (clients only) or compile the system, more RAM is recommended.
|
|
Good performance requires 16 MB of RAM, or 32 MB
|
|
when running the X Window System.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note that you can install
|
|
.Nx
|
|
\*V
|
|
on a system with only 4 MB of onboard RAM, but you will need to use a
|
|
VMEbus RAM card with at least another 4 MB to augment the onboard
|
|
memory in order to actually install the system.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A swap partition of 2-3*RAM is recommended.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note that the
|
|
.Nx*M
|
|
installation procedure uses a
|
|
.Em miniroot
|
|
image which is placed into the swap area of the disk.
|
|
The swap partition must be large enough to hold this miniroot image
|
|
(\*[Gt] 7.5 MB).
