It's also an ill-defined concept, as you've described fairly well. That said, while "minimum requirement" is neither useful nor understandable, it might be interesting to document nominal requirements - for example, size of base system on disk and memory occupied on bootup. But - given the undefined free variables - that sort of thing probably belongs in blog posts rather than on openbsd.org. Thanks, -- Raul
