I've asked for fluid-soundfont-gm to not recommend fluid-soundfont-gs (#571316), and followed up on a proposal for gnash to not recommend csound (#570212). This should save some space, but we need to try to find other recommends that should be removed too. Perhaps compare the list of installed packages in lenny with the list of packages installed in squeeze, or by looking at the largest packages and verify that we really want to have them installed. > - Extend partition sizes to make room for the extra packages, which > will increase the disk space requirement and make it harder for us > testing the installation in virtual machines (I do not have more > space to spend on the virtual disk. :). For the record, at the moment a main-server+thin-client-server installation need this much space in MB on the overfull partitions: /opt 5527 (6144 minimum in the recipe) /usr 6115 (6144 minimum in the recipe) /var 2884 (2624 minimum in the recipe) One would believe the recipe size is big enough, but partman some times create partitions smaller than the minimum size given in the recipe, leading to too small partitions. :( Happy hacking, -- Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-edu-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
