F17/F18 minimal install comparison

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



So during Alpha I heard a few rumblings that the F18 minimal install was
very large. Having a few minutes free this afternoon I thought I'd
compare F17 and F18 minimal installs. I did a minimal install from the
F17 DVD, then a minimal install with the latest F18 pre-beta smoketest
image (from online repos), then looked at the package lists and space
taken by the install. Result is that F18 minimal install is in fact
smaller than F17's: it installs fewer packages and uses less space.

F18 minimal install installs 194 packages and uses 723MB in / and 44MB
in /boot.

F17 minimal install installs 209 packages and uses 821MB in / and 55MB
in /boot.

So it looks like at least as of now, F18 is doing pretty well on this
front.
