My earlier reassurances that 120MB systems worked WERE substantiated. 
Merriam gives "to establish by competent evidence" as a definition for
"substantiated".  I have personally run a 320 with 120MB of disk space in use
(using pre-release software).  It would be unfair for me to comment
on exact sizes of things (since I've only seen pre-release code, any more exact
sizes I might give you would be somewhat off).  And clearly any "recommended
amount of swap space" would depend highly on the applications a given machine
was running.  But rest assured that first-hand evidence shows that a 320
with 120MB of DASD is a bootable, operable, configuration.
