Remastering Finnix HDD size requirements

Predatorian · 02-01-2009, 04:30 PM

hello,

I'm trying to remaster finnix, and im wondering, how bit of a harddrive do i need to get all the required files, cause so far, my virtual 30gb doesnt ever have enough space, and i dont have enough space on my laptop harddrive to copy the files there. would i need a bigger HDD? 40, 60, 100gb?

thanks

I think that depends on what you want to modify. The Finnix ISO itself is below 200 megs in size, and http://www.finnix.org/Remastering_Finnix doesn't say anything about copying the source of every tool over. So if you for instance would like to compile in a new kernel you would only require (size of Finnix ISO contents)+(size of kernel tarball)+(size of kernel tarball unpacked)+(size of kernel tarball compiled). So any virtual disk of say 2GB could do.
