RE: How much disk space to install Sarge ?
Greetings,
I suppose that depends on what your trying to install. If want everything,
you're going ot have to pay for it in terms of space. I recommend starting
with a minimal set of packages and moving on. You're space issue is
probably /var being to small to install everything from Apache to X. The
donloaded packages go into /var/(somehwere I'm to lazy to look) and are then
extracted and installed.
HTH,
Brooks

| 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.
