Based upon my experience yesterday on my testbed 233 MMX with 128 MB RAM, RH 7.3 will need somewhere around 1.9 GB for a custom X/KDE+GNOME/emacs/development+kernel development installation. It took almost 70 minutes to write the files during the installation. Even a stock workstation installation was about 1.8 GB. Other users on the Red Hat forums report similar times and sizes. This compares on the same system with 6.2, which was about 900 MB and 15 minutes, and 7.2 which was about 1.4 GB and 25 minutes. So the installation time makes a nice lunch break ...
