While 'experts' could install it in : > less space, I think 30MB is a good number. : : Heh, I rember installing with 20M for / and thinking that 32M *total* for : / was excessive. My, how our libc.a has grown into a spaghetti monster. : And having 10,000 modules doesn't help either. There are now more programs in /bin and /sbin. There are a zillion modules. Also, /tmp is now used for install programs, which increase the requirement. It looks like binaries are bloaded another 10k each over their 4.x days, and we have a few new ones (eg, setfacl). Also, the 5.0 sh is 714k while the 4.x one is 455k. So we're indeed entering the bloat-o-matic stage. One can likely do it with 20M, but I picked 30M as a safe figure to give to people that might not be extreme experts on recoving these things.
