2 Installation

GIB needs a CPU running at 133 MHz or faster, and at least 32 MBytes of memory, running Windows95, 98 or NT, or Linux. It will run on slower machines or machines with less memory, but the performance will fall off drastically. Installing GIB will use about 20 MBytes of space on your hard disk. Once you've installed it, you don't need to have the CD in the drive in order to play the game. (By letting you play the game without the CD, we made it possible to install GIB on a notebook and play it on an airplane. But we also made it possible to install GIB and then give the CD to a friend to install again. Please support our decision to trust our users!)

GIB runs in a window of just under 800 x 600 pixels. That means it'll look the best if you set your display resolution to those values. If your display only supports 640 x 480, you won't be able to run GIB.
