<title>Memory and Disk Space Requirements</title>
<para>
You must have at least &minimum-memory; of memory and &minimum-fs-size;
of hard disk space to perform a normal installation. Note that these are
fairly minimal numbers. For more realistic figures, see
<xref linkend="minimum-hardware-reqts"/>.

Installation on systems with less memory<footnote condition="gtk">
<para>
Installation images that support the graphical installer require more
memory than images that support only the textual installer and should
not be used on systems with less than &minimum-memory; of memory. If
there is a choice between booting the regular and the graphical installer,
the former should be selected.

</footnote> or disk space available may be possible but is only advised for
experienced users.

On the Amiga the size of FastRAM is relevant towards the total memory
requirements. Also, using Zorro cards with 16-bit RAM is not
supported; you'll need 32-bit RAM. The <command>amiboot</command>
program can be used to disable 16-bit RAM; see the
<ulink url="&url-m68k-faq;">Linux/m68k FAQ</ulink>. Recent kernels should
disable 16-bit RAM automatically.
</para><para arch="m68k">
On the Atari, both ST-RAM and Fast RAM (TT-RAM) are used by Linux.
Many users have reported problems running the kernel itself in Fast
RAM, so the Atari bootstrap will place the kernel in ST-RAM. The
minimum requirement for ST-RAM is 2 MB. You will need an additional
12 MB or more of TT-RAM.
</para><para arch="m68k">
On the Macintosh, care should be taken on machines with RAM-based
video (RBV). The RAM segment at physical address 0 is used as screen
memory, making the default load position for the kernel unavailable.
The alternate RAM segment used for kernel and RAMdisk must be at least
4 MB.
