Way more than enough, as I'm sure you knew when you wrote that :-)

IIRC, 64Meg is the minimum suggested for the -X11- install; however,
I think I have a post from Dan B saying that less than 64 would only
make the X11 install excruciatingly slow, not failure-prone. And I
think the text install should go fine in less than 64.
However, having said that, the 6500 on which I had plenty other
problems getting the install working has 96, so I can't say for sure
that you really can do it in 32.
Elliot, you look to be in my vicinity unless you are logged on and
posting from afar. I -think- I have a spare 32Meg from my 6500. I'm
willing to let you try it, and if it works, we can make a deal on a
fair price; if not, you can send it back. I still have to -find- the
stick, so it's not a bona fide offer until.
