1NetBSD/atari 1.2 runs on a TT030 and a Falcon. An FPU is not required. The
2minimum amount of RAM required is 4Mb.

4Here is a table of recommended HD partition sizes for a full install:
5	partition:	advise,	with X,	needed,	with X
6	root (/)	15M	15M	10M	10M
7	user (/usr)	65M	100M	45M 	80M
8	swap		----- 2M for every M ram (see below) -----
9	local (/local)	up to you
10
11In addition of the rule of thumb for the swap size mentioned below, you
12probably want to make sure that the size of the swap partition does not
13drop below 20Mb (30Mb for systems with X).
14As you may note the recommended size of /usr is 20M greater than
15needed. This is to leave room for a kernel source and compile tree
16as you will probably want to compile your own kernel. (GENERIC is
17large and bulky to accommodate all people, BOOT is small and might
18not have all the features you want).
