So, at the pilot MythTV installfest today, we installed and got
working a number of MythTV boxes. How much space did these installs
end up consuming?
Well, I installed every package from the atrpms repository that had
the word "myth" in it. So, on my box:
rpm -qa --queryformat '%{name} %{size}\n' | awk '/myth/ { i += $2 };
END { print i }; '
tells me that those packages consume 157617287 bytes (about 150 MB).
Now, that includes several "plugins" plus a dozen or so themes, so it
could be smaller.
However, that does *not* include all the dependencies which support
MythTV. Those will include the system stuff like glibc (which is 12
MB by itself on FC6), as well as MySQL, maybe Apache, and so on.
Totaling every package on this system isn't useful, as I've got tons
of crap installed.
I'll see if I can do a parallel install of a minimal FC6, and then
yum it to add myth, to get the footprint from a minimal package set.
What would we recommend as a minimal target partition size?
That would depend on what we want to install. For example, do we
want to include gcc, in case something comes along later that needs to
be built from source?
