Someone want to check the sizes in the manual? I last updated them this fall. ----- Forwarded message from William Wolfe <w_j_wolfe@yahoo.co.uk> ----- From: William Wolfe <w_j_wolfe@yahoo.co.uk> Date: Tue, 12 Apr 2005 20:57:51 +0100 (BST) To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: How much disk space to install Sarge ? Reply-To: W_J_Wolfe@yahoo.co.uk Hi, Can anyone please tell me how much space you need to install Debian-Sarge with the Debian-Installer rc3 release ? I've just tried a 2.3Gb partition, and its sitting there with its legs up in the air. A bit of background........ I'm new to this list, so if I'm in the wrong place please let me know. This is my first experience of installing Debian. I'm trying Debian after SuSE and DamnSmallLinux. I am building the Desktop configuration (selecting Desktop, when given the option for partitioning and selecting 'tasks' or bundled package installations for particular purpose, desktop, mail server, print server, etc ) I've installed twice now and both times run out of disk space :-( First time I tool the guidance recommendations for disk partitions in Debian Installer, but 1.3Gb wasn't enough. The second time I read the documentaion, it says you need 2.058 Gb to install and an Installed size of 1.5Gb to run. But it overran the partition of 2.3Gb !! Sarge Installation Manual, Section C.3. - Disk Space Needed for Tasks, available @ http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/ When I look at the Base-config.log it has run out of space at the point of unpacking the openoffice.org_1.1.3-8_all.deb package. Before going through this experience again I'd like to take some advice to reasure me I'm not going to run out of space again. It takes me 2 days of anticipation to do an install and this is getting to be a bit too much of an anticlimax. many thanks for any help you can offer. W.
