Presumably this is the January "1994" Walnut Creek CD-ROM.

60MB is a bit tight, but workable. If you want to have plenty of
legroom I'd recommend you install it in a 100 MB partition, as I ended
up doing on one system. You certainly don't need 170 MB unless you
want to start installing all the source code.
