Are you preparing to install Fedora 21 ? 500 GB is way large enough, for example my current installation of the system partitions is: df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda3 39G 27G 9.4G 75% / /dev/sda1 2.0G 604M 1.3G 33% /boot /dev/sdc2 40G 34G 5.9G 86% /var (I have /var on a separate disk and partition due to the main disk being an SSD; this avoids potential problems with data on /var that is often being re-written. It also contains package mockbuild caches for F19,F20,F21, EL5, EL6, EL7 totaling 4.8GB, and some virtual machines.) /dev/mapper/vg1-home_vg1 643G 643G 713M 100% /home (could be as small as say 20G; you may also like to mount your windows partition to use data files from it - this would give more space). I have 3577 rpm packages installed. [rpm -qa|wc -l], so this is quite a large install. > And, in the case I need to prepare the partitions in one way > differentthan I already prepared, I do not know how to do this ... It would help if we were able to see how the disk is currently partitioned. You could boot a Fedora rescue image (to text mode), and then list the current layout of the first sata disk by: # fdisk -l /dev/sda , and reply to the list with that info. Then I would be making a backup of your disk. If you haven't done much in windows, then this might only be a DVD or 2 worth of space. Next, I would use a bootable gparted CD to resize the main windows partition to leave the space you want for your linux installations. I've done this quite often without trouble, but better to backup then be sorry if it doesn't work. Once there is space to add your new Fedora partitions in, we can provide some info on how to set custom partitioning during Fedora install. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
