I suspect that even the everything install people don't install all of the locale addons for packages. I like to, because sometimes conflicts only hit some of the locales and I can report bugs. Also when you have a lot of stuff installed and you do an update, you might need a significant amount of space in /var to hold the downloaded packages and to do the install. I found that with a 50 GB / and all games and all locale variants of things like moodle and open office and some rpmfusion stuff (including a few more large games), I was having trouble doing large updates. (This was with a local mirror of rawhide on another partition, cutting the amount of space needed for yum on / .) So I removed some of the locale stuff to get down to using about 40 GB out 50 GB to leave space for doing updates. When I went from F11 to F12 via yum I had to still break up the updates even with about 10GB available for scratch space that wasn't needed for the rpm files. I think this is an extreme situation and you might still want to use 50 GB. _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
