> 8 Mbytes of memory (of course, more is better..)

> ~40 mb for executables,
</P

> ~40 mb for source code
(which you can ignore if you merely install the Linux binaries)
</P

> ~? for data
(the veritable bottomless pit can be filled with data,
if you so choose)
</P
></LI

> GRASS runs on Linux kernel versions as old as 1.2.13 (see more
information in the appendices for various specific binaries).
</P
><P
> GRASS will run in text mode. However, for displays of data, you will
need X. If you are still running a version of X, it will probably
work with GRASS.

please let me know!
