- Leaving out X, you can run quite comfortably on 4 Mb RAM, 25 Mhz 386,
- and 100 Mb of disk. I left off the source to GNU C and a couple other
- "biggies", but otherwise was able to install both source and binary,
- and build kernels and commands.
-
- Since then I've added a 1.2 Gb SCSI disk. The GNU C source is
- back on-line! :-)
