If the situation isn't going to change anytime soon then I have some 
diffs for INSTALL.i386 and INSTALL.amd64. The latter has not specified 
disk requirements, I guess since anyone who owns an amd64 system will 
very likely be using a disk big enough for X, so I figured that the 
same would apply to any user of an i386 system that meets the proposed 
minimum RAM. These are based on the 2021-09-21 snapshot versions.
