Minimum 4 Meg, and this is not like some quoted minimum's I've seen where you
try it with 2Meg and it works, this means with 2 Meg the installation system
won't work!!

As far as disk space, I am not sure if there is a documented minimum (don't 
have the manuals handy), but if you are planning to run standalone (meaning
non-TCF) you better plan to have more than 60! Oh, I imagine you could
actually make a bootable system with only that much, but then what would
you do with it?? Even 70 is gonna be tight. I would say dual 70's is the
bottom end of usability and if you have a model 70 you better have the
120 Meg drive.
