I kept thinking that I had read an answer to that question in some part of the documentation in the past, but like the OP, I couldn't find it in the FAQ. Now I've found it: It's in INSTALL.386 --on the web e.g. at http://anga.funkfeuer.at/ftp/pub/OpenBSD/4.3/i386/INSTALL.i386 (and other mirrors)-- where is says among other things: > The minimal configuration to install the system is 24MB or 32MB of RAM and perhaps 200MB of disk space. To install the entire system requires much more disk space, and to run X or compile the system, more RAM is recommended. I'm not, btw. entirely sure why it says 24MB *or* 32MB, but anyway. kind regards, --ropers
