Ok, Sorry it took so long, but I have some numbers. I just ran an install from the latest daily build accepting all default values, and here's the disk usage:
Immediately after first login, and before launching anything but a console: df says (1215436), df -h says (1.2G) After sudo apt-get clean: df says (1168864 ), df -h says (1.2G). The guided partitioner makes swap == 2x RAM. For a 2GB disk system w/ 128Mb RAM, that means: ~1.2G == base install ~.25 == Swap ~.55 G == ~/ As long as the user doesn't have >400Mb of RAM, they should be OK. ;-) 500 Mb isn't a ton of space for a home directory, but I think it's probably sufficient. On a machine w/ a 2Gb disk, you're probably not planning on ripping tons of movies or anything. Worst case scenario, the user can uninstall whatever he/she doesn't want. -- Michael Moore ------------------------------- www.stuporglue.org -- Donate your used computer to a student that needs it. www.ubuntu-utah.org -- In Utah?
