Installing GNOME desktop currently requires 3.2GB. That's including the
package cache. After 'aptitude clean, 2.4GB remains used.
For comparison, the same numbers for Lenny are 2.5GB and 1.8GB.
I had recommends disabled, and at first I thought maybe tasksel was
overriding that option. But I checked and that 's not the case.
So I really shudder to think what the installed size would have been if
I'd not disabled Recommends (with packages like gnome-office still
missing).
/me is not at all amused
