I am interested in using a Unix clone on my Atari TT030.
My hardware consists of a 4 Meg ST RAM/0 Meg TT RAM, TT030 with FPU,
with an IBM SCSI 270 Meg hard drive, and a standard VGA monitor.
I would like to try NetBSD on this machine in X11 graphical mode.
My question is with 4 Meg of RAM is it possible and if so is the
swapping bearable? If more RAM is required does NetBSD use both
ST/TT RAM together or is it segmented like under TOS?
If my current setup is not sufficient I also have a
14 Meg Falcon, no FPU, with a 80 Meg internal IDE hard drive,
and a standard VGA monitor. With 14 Megs of RAM can I do without
a swap file to save space on the 80 meg hard drive? Any help/comments
are appreciated.
Thanks.
