In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII List-Id: A quick check of the slakware site indicates that you can install a minimal setup with 50MB of space. It doesn't indicate what the space for a "typical" install is. But I would guess about 1.5GB of space. Many distros take that much space as the "typical" includes full developer support for console and X. It contains most server services. And generally would represent a winblows install with all the macroslop dev software and other server products. I would recomend the first order be to trim back from a spoon fed install. It takes a long time to select what you want, but you don't end up with many things you wont need and actually represent a security risk since they may run with some default config you are unaware of. ======= Kirk Wood Cpt.Kirk@1tree.net Nothing is hard if you know the answer or are used to doing it.
