On a system with a 80GB hard disk, the chosen size for the root partition
when using the multi-user recipe was 150MB.
This system was installed with the "Desktop" tasks and I later tried to add
a neweer kernel-package to the existing 2.4.26 kernel-image.
THis failed because of full / partition.
Removing All gnome stuff partly solved this (/etc/gconf may grow to a huge
size....it was 20MB big on my system).
However, I suggest to increase the size of the root partition when the disk
or available space size allow this. This will allow users with default
installs to install more than 1 kernel image.....
I tagged this "important" because, in a context of a moderately skilled
Debian user, this may appear to be a bad design choice....
