[gentoo-user] gentoo workstation x/kde: disk size requirement...

2005-09-24 Thread Jarry
Hi,

I want to make my notebook dual-bootable (i must keep win because of
some software), and I would like to know how big partition do I need
for gentoo (basic workstation install, with X/KDE).

Would single (except for swap) 10 GB partition be enough to handle
updating and compiling? I would not like to see how portage eats all
my disk space and leaves me stuck in the middle of update process...

That should be fine, one of my machines has an 8GB disk and I run run
X/KDE and Openoffice-bin just fine.

That should be more than enough. My laptop has a 8GB / partition
(/home is mounted in a separate one), and I never get less than 1.5G
free as long as I made sure to unmerge unneeded versions of the
kernels.
