Alliance 1.4: Operating system, disk space, memory and swap space requirements


Record #3453

Problem Title:
Alliance 1.4: Operating system, disk space, memory and swap space
requirements



Problem Description:
Keywords: operating system, OS, memory, swap, disk, space, requirements, RAM

Urgency: Standard

amounts of memory (RAM), size of swap space (virtual memory) and disk space
required to properly run the M1 software.

Note: This information is meant to be a guideline.  Some designs may require
more memory and/or swap space especially if they contain several "tight"
timing specifications.	Disk space sizes are also approximate.	Actual disk
space may be slightly more or less than specified here.
