. .Nx*M \*V runs on a Chalice CATS systems from and Intel EBSA boards. The minimal configuration is said to require 8 MB of RAM and 50 MB of disk space, though we do not know of anyone running with a system quite this minimal today. To install the entire system requires much more disk space (the unpacked binary distribution, without sources, requires at least 65 MB without counting space needed for swap space, etc), and to run X or compile the system, more RAM is recommended. (8 MB of RAM will actually allow you to run X and/or compile, but it won't be speedy. Note that until you have around 16 MB of RAM, getting more RAM is more important than getting a faster CPU.) . .Ss2 Supported Chalice CATS devices .(bullet -offset indent -compact ALI M1543 southbridge inc PS/2 keyboard & mouse, ide, serial t Parallel, USB and ISA bus t RTC .bullet) . .Ss2 Supported Intel EBSA285 & Chalice CATS PCI devices .(bullet -offset indent PCI - PCI bridges .(bullet -compact DC21150 t DC21152 t DC21153 t DC21154 t Hint HB1 .bullet) t Digital DC21x4x-based PCI Ethernet adapters .(bullet -compact Cogent EM1X0, EM960 (a.k.a.
