Re using Minix upon an Atari-ST; What sort of ST is needed?

I ask this question against the following background; the PC
version requires at least 512k bytes of memory (but better
640k) and two 360k floppies are required to 'self generate'
a new system (ast's book).  Second, there was some mention a
while a go that things ran better on Mega-ST's with hard discs
- no surprise!

So, can a new ST-Minix system be generated upon the following:-
(1) main memory 512k bytes; one 360k floppy?  (old 520-STFM)
(2) main memory 512k bytes; one 720k floppy?  (new 520-STFM)
(3) main memory 1024k bytes; one 720k floppy?  (1020-STFM)

Thank you,
