I have tmpfs setup with no limit on a 3GB (4GB, really, but it's x86) |
| 15 |
no-swap system, and it works very well; OpenOffice and xulrunner-1.9 |
| 16 |
being the only things I can recall that won't build in that config. |

On a VM with only 512MB RAM, recently, I enabled tmpdir immediately |
| 19 |
after getting stage3 up, and found that I had ran out of space building |
| 20 |
only: |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
- gcc-4.1.2 |
| 23 |
- glibc (whatever current x86 stable is) |
| 24 |
- xorg-server-1.3.?? (this was *just* before xorg-1.5) |
| 25 |
- emacs-22.1 |
