Fedora 4 disk space

maritimer · #1 23rd November 2005, 11:22 PM

I`m thinking of installing Fedora core 4 on a second hard drive, with Windoze on my primary drive. I want to install the full Fedora 4 package, minus the server applications. As my machine is solely for desktop work, I won`t be needing the server apps?

How much disk space would this install require? I have a 10GB drive as my secondary, which will be free for the Fedora package.

Thanks.

the full installation will need about 6 GB.

All 4 CDs are ~7GB. So you should have at least 10GB.

Although a full install would take 6-7GB's, I don't advice that you choose to load everything.

Pick the main things you want during install and go back and install things you need later through the Add/Remove programs utility. This way, most installs would be under 3GB's.

10GB's would be enough to get going for quite a while and give you time to learn your way around.
