Hello,
I have a small question concerning the 'small is beautiful' paradigm :)
Ok, so I read the hardware requirements in 'Installing PC distribution' and saw
that one needs 8 Mb. I also tried installing on 4 Mb machine (that's all I
currently have) and got kernel's 'no physical memory' during vdexpand
execution. And last, but not least :), the description of Plan 9 says it will
run comfortablin 4 Mb on a laptop. Here goes a contradiction :) - so how I'm
supposed to install on such a 4 Mb system?
So, on the practical side, can I do anything except adding another 4 megs, to
install? Perhaps boot somehow in a minimum config and set up a swap space? Any
comments are appreciated.
Please reply direct as I'm not currently subscribed to 9fans.
Alexandr
