- update for 1.5 (still more MD stuff to check) - use new macros in ../common/macros as appropriate - introduce some CONSISTENCY between the various ports' install docs - use various mdoc macros as appropriate, including .Li, .Pa, .Sy, and .Ic. - migrate more stuff into ../common/* - whitespace cleanup - lots of other little things i'm sure...

The minimal configuration requires 8 MB of RAM and ~60 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, as
|
|
.Nx
|
|
with 8 MB of RAM feels like Ultrix with 8 MB of RAM - slow.
|
|
Note that until you have around 16 MB of RAM, getting more RAM is more
|
|
important than getting a faster CPU.
