 ## Quickstart - for small extracts
 
 ### Req:
-* linux x86_64
-* docker         >=1.10
-* docker-compose >=1.7.1
+* CPU: AMD64 ( = Intel 64 bit)
+    *  The base docker debian images are x86_64 based, so the ARM,MIPS currently not supported!
+* Operating system
+    * Linux is suggested
+        * The development and the testing platform is Linux.
+    * If you are using FreeBSD, Solaris, Windows, ...
+        * Please give a feedback, share your experience, write a tutorial
+* bash
 * git
-* free disk space >= ~15Gb ( more is better! )
+* make 
+* docker         >=1.10
+    * https://www.docker.com/products/overview
+* docker-compose >=1.7.1
+    * https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/
+* disk space ( >= ~15Gb  )
+    * for small extracts  >= ~15Gb
+    * for big extracts ( continents, planet) > 20 ... 1000 Gb
+    * And depends on
+        * OpenStreetMap data size
+        * Zoom level
+* memory ( >= 3Gb )
+    * for small extracts 3Gb-8Gb RAM
+    * for big extracts ( Europe, Planet) > 8-32 Gb
+* internet connections
+    * for downloading docker images
+    * for downloading OpenStreetMap data from Geofabrik
 
+Important:  The ./quickstart.sh is for small extracts - not optimal for a Planet rendering !!

 ### Check other extracts
 
 IF the previous step is working,
 THAN you can test other available quickstart extracts ( based on geofabrik extracts) !
  * We are using https://github.com/julien-noblet/download-geofabrik tool
+ * The current extract list, and more informations  ->  `make list`
 
 This is generating mbtiles for your area :  [ MIN_ZOOM: "0"  - MAX_ZOOM: "7" ]
