i'm still curious about what it means to say that FC3 installation requires "additional disk space" as described below. ===== The disk space requirements listed below represent the disk space taken up by Fedora Core 3 after the installation is complete. However, additional disk space is required during the installation to support the installation environment. This additional disk space corresponds to the size of /Fedora/base/stage2.img (on CD-ROM 1) plus the size of the files in /var/lib/rpm on the installed system. In practical terms, this means that as little as an additional 90MB can be required for a minimal installation, while as much as an additional 175MB can be required for an "everything" installation. ===== additional disk space where? and i'm asking about both /Fedora/base/stage2.img, and /var/lib/rpm. thanks. rday
