_The official answer is no, 8Mb is the minimum supported memory configuration. Some people are  
using it with only 4Mb though.

You'll need to borrow 4Mb from another system to get you past the install process (where 8Mb is  
needed to expand the diskettes). After the install is done, you may be able to run with only 4Mb if  
you set the vga at a low resolution and/or depth, or perhaps fiddle with the kernelpercent  
parameter in plan9.ini(8).
