.Nx*M
|
|
\*V runs on Acorn systems with
|
|
.Tn ARM6
|
|
or later processors,
|
|
with or without FPU coprocessor. The minimal configuration is said to
|
|
require 8 MB of RAM and 50 MB of disk space, though we do not know of anyone
|
|
running with a system quite this minimal today. To install the entire
|
|
system requires much more disk space (the unpacked binary distribution,
|
|
without sources, requires at least 65 MB without counting space needed for
|
|
swap space, etc), and to run X or compile the system, more RAM is
|
|
recommended. (8 MB of RAM will actually allow you to run X and/or compile,
|
|
but it won't be speedy. Note that until you have around 16 MB of RAM,
|
|
getting more RAM is more important than getting a faster CPU.)
