Just did an x86_64 install on a VirtualBox VM with 1GB RAM and a 6GB
disk and took all defaults. Ends up using 2.7GB of the 3.8GB / and
creates a 2GB swap, so I'd call 5GB an absolute minimum for the default
x86_64 install with 1GB RAM. Could run an i386 install too, but this is
probably good enough.
