Hi,

I run NetBSD 2.0 on a system with a 5 meg hfs partition, 
5 meg swap, and the rest of a 160 meg disk for /.

Pretty much everything fits (including X) but I 
have to remove most of the .a files from the comp.tgz install 
and I don't install games or man.  That said I have 
36 meg of memory so with 8 meg you might need a bigger swap
partition.  Install on my 68040 powerbook takes about
an hour over NFS.

I don't btw, know how well the 8 meg will work.  Can
you expand the memory?

cheers

bruce
