Well, on my recent BLFS build, no stripping or anything like that, I got lazy and am using only one 80GB partition for everything. My current disk usage is 25.3GB, the majority of which is in /home. /home is currently 16GB which really should be a separate partition. Soo approximately 9.3GB is being used. Now, take into account that my sources are still in /usr/src/sources at 4.6GB and I have multiple src680 (OOo-2.0 branch) builds and 3 J2SDKs installed. I also have e17, flux, Gnome and KDE installed, and FGFS and eclipse both qualify as large installs. These total around 1.8GB. 7GB should be more than safe I think for the typical full blown BLFS (4GB by my count but lets not forget a little padding given the cost of a MB nowadays and the amount of space required for building the larger packages like j2sdk and OOo) If it turns out not to be enough, then there are quite a few utils availble for a fairly safe way to resize later if needs be. I hear parted is nice, though I've never used it. It'd be nice to see other's more common disk usage to use as a furthur baseline. -- DJ Lucas -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
