Don't forget all the dependencies that all pulled in by these apps. You might end up with nearly a typical Linux installation. > How much space would all that take? While you can probably fit it into 1 GB if you have too, I would stay on the safe side and use at least 4 GB. > Assuming one were to put the chroot > in its own partition, how much space should be allocated to that partition? If you make it a separate partition, I would consider making it a full Linux installation. That gives you a backup in case something gets screwed up. > If you're using an AMD64 desktop, how much space are you using in the > chroot? Personally, I don't like having too many partitions around. I have 30 GB for the x64 system, and 120 GB for my data and the i386 system. If you want to have a bit more orderly, you might use a separate partition for i386, and another one for swap. Thomas
