My estimation was based on the assumption that someone actually wants to work on the code, not just build it. So reserving some space for debugging or a second repository for another version would be a good idea. If you just want to build the code on Linux, you can get away with half the disk space (~30 GB working space + system), I guess. Currently I'm on Windows, I can check the size of the Linux build later. Windows is still building. It's in "sd" already, so odds are high that there aren't big problems (if any). Regards, Mathias
