I'm trying to install the 386BSD bin01 distribution set.

How much disk space is required to extract bin01?  Am I right in thinking that 40Mb is enough for the kernel and the bin01 but more is required to actually execute the extraction?

If so, how much space  do I need? Or is there another way to extract - bit by bit for example?

Cheers, Donald.
