Summary: Missing hard disk space requirement in release notes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=443694 jjcogliati-r1@xxxxxxxxx changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Flag| |needinfo? ------- Additional Comments From jjcogliati-r1@xxxxxxxxx 2008-04-22 22:40 EST ------- Okay. Believe it or not, I managed to read those paragraphs three times and missed the "The complete packages can occupy over 9 GB of disk space". How I managed to do that is reading the first paragraph "The disk space requirement*s*", and think, okay, I am looking for a list of different disk space requirements, like back in the day of fedora core 3 ( http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/fc3/x86/ ) Then I see the second paragraph "In practical terms, additional space requirements" and think, okay, this paragraph is about the additional space need beyond the listed amounts, and head to the next paragraph. The third paragraph is talking more about additional disk space requirements such as for the home directories. So, we have three paragraphs 1) look for the disk space requirements later 2) You need more than them to install 3) you need more than the requirement to actually store your own data. A simple fix for this could be that the 9 GB sentence be the first one and drop the "listed below": """The complete packages can occupy over 9 GB of disk space. 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 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. Additional space is also required for any user data, and at least 5% free space should be maintained for proper system operation. """ A better fix might be to leave the paragraphs as are and add something like this to the bottom (I don't know the exact numbers): 2 GB minimum install 4 GB Basic Install additional 2 GB Office and Productivity software additional 3 GB Development Software additional 1 GB server software 9 GB complete packages So, I guess my request is to at least rephrase the section so it is more obvious that 9 GB is the complete DVD install, and possibly add more size possibilities. -- 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
