You'll need a FPU, more than 4 MB RAM, and in case you install to a 
SCSI disk, you should run the Falcon in 16 colors only (256 colors 
probably results in excessive SCSI hangs and timeouts). 

And you will need some driver to access the CD-ROM in TOS, otherwise 
the install files on the CD won't be of much use.
