Make sure you have a swap partition if you want to do something useful (beside looking at the prompt and whispering *ah, it runs* :) > * How much hard drive space does it require? As always, the real question is what do you want to install? If you follow the cross-install way or use the gnu-19990104.tar.gz file, you will need at least 40 MB (you _could_ do with less, but then it gets difficult :) If you want to install all existing (useful) packages, you probably need 150 MB. Well, With 70-80 MB you actually have a small development plattform. I was able to do useful work within 128 MB partition, but it is narrow. Add to these values whatever you need for developing, compilation, etc, and you are done. -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
