I am using 3G storage with ~600M left (no swap, single part, no roms). I've hacked the gasetup script to allow this.

On my guide I recommended 8 GB at least. Some people reported using smaller drives however, but I wouldn't trust to automatic partitioning to work properly with them.

The automatic partitioner (inside file interactive) requires a minimum of 4G. Swap is set to 500M for capacity up to 8G and is set to 1G with more space. Boot partition is always 100M.

With enough ram (above 1G), swap can be disabled at no risk.
