4.1. Supported, Required, and Recommended Hardware
- At least a 486DX33 with 16MB RAM is required. A Pentium or Pentium Pro
and more main memory is recommended. A 386 or a system with 8MB or less
memory is an insufficient configuration.
- There are no specific requirements concerning network cards, disk types,
or CD ROM equipment; of course the more powerful, the better.
- Depending on the packages installed, a disk space of 20-55MB on a
HPFS formatted partition (or a NFS or ext2fs partition natively
allowing long filenames) is required. XFree86/OS2 will not run on FAT partitions.
- You need a video card that is supported by XFree86. Refer to the general
README document for a list of supported cards. Note that the sets
of video cards supported by XFree86 on one hand and OS/2 on the other
hand overlap, but do not match exactly, i.e. the fact that your card
is supported by OS/2 does not mean it works with XFree86 as well, and
vice versa. XFree86 does not use the video services of the OS/2
operating system.
