Re: default size of root fs

I think the idea is reducing repeated effort.  If 1 person spends an hour, to keep 1000 people from spending 30 minutes, then time has been saved.  It's for this reason we don't all write our own kernels!

I, for instance, have the base vanilla image I did with the little createfedorawhatever script, then I add other stuff for various images.  That way if I need several more X type systems, I already have them built out and tada - there they are.  That said, I'm not necessarily the target audience for the AMI, either.

So the question is - those who are, what will they typically need?  Several chimed in about the 2G / size, so jforbes has already changed that to 10G for the next image.  In the mean time, serving things out of the additional mounts is probably better to do anyway.  My note about that was just for people who want to resolve issues prior to his releasing the new AMIs.

You could also build/publish your own custom image of the FC14 image
but with a 10gig root partition ... that's what I did.
