Thank you all for your rapid responses. In specific, Aleksandar asked:
Are these numbers your own estimates, or did you pick them up
somewhere? I'm asking because they overestimate.
These numbers came directly from the 7.5 book; 2.2.1.1. through
2.2.1.3 : pages 12 and 13.
Aha, OK. I see it now.
Ever since I built my system for the third time, I have been rarely
looking at the book. Especially after 7.0.
The list in 2.2.1.3. and the recomendation in 2.2.1.1. are, in
principle, mutually exclusive. A ~10GB root partition from 2.2.1.1.
includes within itself a 5GB /usr, a 5GB /opt and a couple of
GB /tmp. /bin, /lib and friends in / are rarely heavier than
200-300MB and can therefore be ignored in this calculation.
10GB for system, that is, everything excluding /home, whereever you
keep your sources and possibly the build dir, should be quite enough.
On a related topic : if I find an error in the 7.5 book, to whom
should the notice go? In the process of downloading each of the
required parts, I found that the source site for Bzip2 failed. I used
the Google code search and found it just fine. I also created a curl
script to make the downloading mostly a bulk job with the exceptions
of the files that come from SourceForge - can't curl them. Al
I think lfs-support is good, but lfs-dev may be better. If you don't
mind being on two mail-lists (and your mail program can handle it with
reasonable ease), lfs-dev is better.
