It's from here: https://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-9.3/i386/INSTALL.html NetBSD/i386 System Requirements and Supported Devices NetBSD 9.3 runs on all i486 or later PC-compatible systems with 1 to 32 processors. The minimal configuration for a full, standard installation is 32MB of RAM and 250MB of disk space. > It may be worth adjusting to note that a base-only could be installed > in 32MB of RAM and 250MB of disk space, but would not be performant > :-p Considering how well NetBSD 10 runs on my Mac LC III+ with 36 megs of memory and on my VAXstation 4000/30 (also known as VLC) with 24 megs, I think 32 megs on even a slow clocked i486 should be pretty decent ;) John
