Installing GNOME desktop currently requires 3.2GB. That's including the package cache. After 'aptitude clean, 2.4GB remains used. For comparison, the same numbers for Lenny are 2.5GB and 1.8GB. I had recommends disabled, and at first I thought maybe tasksel was overriding that option. But I checked and that 's not the case. So I really shudder to think what the installed size would have been if I'd not disabled Recommends (with packages like gnome-office still missing). /me is not at all amused -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
