8 MB's are perfectly fine for this. I used a setup of a 4MB ramdisk and a lifefilesystem on CD for the Eagle Linux m68k installation routine. With only 8 MB you can't run without swap, but that can be on a native partition (i.e. no need to repartition the drive). With 12 MB I'm able to run bash and other small programms without swap. I would think the average ram in a computer nowadays would be 16 - 32 MB ram, more for better systems. With that starting X without swap could even be possible. May the Source be with you.
