Summary: Missing hard disk space requirement in release notes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=443694 kwade@xxxxxxxxxx changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |NEEDINFO ------- Additional Comments From kwade@xxxxxxxxxx 2008-04-22 18:27 EST ------- Looking at that page at the phrase you quoted, it appears three times on that page, once for each major architecture: 'The disk space requirements listed below represent the disk space taken up by Fedora 9 after installation is complete. However, additional disk space is required during installation to support the installation environment. This additional disk space corresponds to the size of /Fedora/base/stage2.img (on Installation Disc 1) plus the size of the files in /var/lib/rpm on the installed system. In practical terms, additional space requirements may range from as little as 90 MiB for a minimal installation to as much as an additional 175 MiB for an "everything" installation. The complete packages can occupy over 9 GB of disk space. Additional space is also required for any user data, and at least 5% free space should be maintained for proper system operation.' As you may have noted, a few releases ago we stopped trying to be exact on minimum and maximum install sizes for each release. Previous to that when shipping Fedora was "Fedora Core", it had been possible to predict to the MiB how much space an "everything" install took up. After the end of the "everything" install, the combining of internal and external package repositories, and the dawning of the age of the Fedora spin, it stopped being possible to predict what the size of the particular install a person had in their hands would take up. At that point, we adjusted the content to give the range, as above. So, I really don't think this is a bug in the release notes, but I'm curious to hear back from you what is insufficient in those notes. Perhaps there are some additional clues, pointers, or formulas we could be offering users. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. -- Fedora-relnotes-content mailing list Fedora-relnotes-content@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-relnotes-content
