UNIX/IRAF Site Manager's Guide
IRAF itself requires anywhere from 60 to 150 Mb of memory depending upon
whether the system is stripped, on the size of the binaries, and on how many
architectures are supported. Since IRAF is an image processing system,
usually the disk requirements of the data will vastly outstrip those of IRAF
itself. The amount of space needed for the data to be processed varies
greatly and will depend upon the type of data being processed. A useful
system requires from several hundred Mb to 1 Gb of disk space.
