Need a distro for use on a 3GB drive
Hi,
I tried installing FC4 on an old machine with a 3GB drive but even if I installed a minimal amount of packages the installer would tell me that I didn't have enough disk space. I don't know how a 1 GB install won't fit on a drive with 2.4GB / partition but apparently it doesn't so my question is are there any distros that are small enough for a 3 GB drive? thanks |
Damn Small Linux

I've had debian sarge with xfree fluxbox firefox and a few other apps. a little over 1 gig.

Slackware will easily fit in 3GB. Debian too. Depends what you install of course.
edit: I've installed Slackware on a 128MB compact flash card (it was pretty cramped though). If you want to be hard-core, how about Linux From Scratch. You can configure that to fit into pretty much whatever you want. |
