Re: [Cooker-firewall] disk space needed for mnf?
You can install the firewall on a 500 Mb but then you should eventually reconfigure the rotates because otherwise the system will soon become unusable with a lack of free space error messages ... The logs take much space after a while ... so that's why you have to redefine the log rotates ... cheers, bascule [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: i'm afraid i'm still not being clear, i'm not asking how much space mnf takes up, or how much it will use after being installed, but, how much is necessary in order to install it in the first place, as i have said before, despite having 1gb over two equal disks and only 200mb actually filled, an upgrade of snf using cooker failed due to 'lack of space', clearly the upgrade process required far more space on my disks than i was actually going to choose packages for, i'm trying to ascertain the smallest disk i need to install mnf on, i'm aware that post-install space is used up by urpmi and var, that is why i currently have /var on a separate disk, however since mnf is only taking up 200mb of space i would like to remove one of the disks for something else and put /var on a smaller partition, if mnf won't install on one 500mb disk, or future upgrades via a cooker upgrade or just using urpmi will still fail then i can't, because i'll need to have the spare space even if i'm not using it so that i can keep the system uptodate, perhaps i'm the only one who had an 'out of space' error trying to upgrade from cooker and that is causing the confusion, when i refer to (s)mnf i mean selecting snf-en only and letting the install continue from there, nothing that is not provided by that, bascule On Friday 11 October 2002 11:33 am, you wrote: There is no answer like you need that amount of Mb on the hard drive in order to use this firewall as this will depend on the firewall configuration.

[Cooker-firewall] disk space needed for mnf?
i recently upgraded snf to the mnf in cooker,or rather i reinstalled since the upgrade failed due to lack of space even though now installed it only takes up 157mb out of 2x500mb disks, the question is, what is the minimum contiguous free space necessary to install the cooker mnf, will this be different for the mnf iso? bascule -- 'Who's that playing now, Mr. Dibbler?'

Re: [Cooker-firewall] disk space needed for mnf?
well, that's how much space it takes up when installed amaury, but how much is necessary to have in order to install? i have 2x500mb disks, snf only took up up 200mb of that but when trying to upgrade using the cooker it failed due to lack of space! i assume that this is because at that point of the install i had yet to select snf (although it was a few weeks ago and my memory could be faulty) and cooker is designed to install a fully fledged system! given that my mnf only takes up 207mb i would like to liberate one of the disks but not if this will prevent me from installing/upgrading in the future! i hope i have been clearer this time :-) bascule On Wednesday 09 October 2002 7:27 pm, you wrote: the question is, what is the minimum contiguous free space necessary to install the cooker mnf, will this be different for the mnf iso?
