Some rough amounts: base, comp, etc, games, kern-GENERIC, man, misc, modules, rescue, text: 629 megs With tests: 678 megs With xbase, xcomp, xetc, xfont, xserver: 929 megs With debug and xdebug: 2832 megs I don't think 250 megs of disk space is going to cut it any longer :)
Definitely a good idea to update! So ~1G with X, and ~700M without. Would you be able to run a quick test with just base, kern-GENERIC & etc to get an absolute minimum? (More likely to be of interest to 32bit x86 retro dabblers :)
Certainly. It's 186 megs (as reported with du -sm).This reminds me that I want to see if I can figure out why NetBSD's bootblocks won't work on a TI 486DLC. Luckily, I have more than a gigabyte of disk for it.
Thanks! John
