[12:22] that clears things up [12:22] frandavid100: well, Ubuntu requires already 1.5 GB and then you should have at least 500 mb swap.... and then you need additional space if you want to install further programs and stuff [12:22] I'm not gonna install much stuff [12:22] splitting up the 4gb drive will just make either very limited /home partition or limit you on the system [12:23] frandavid100: screw that [12:23] last-exit, bmp and maybe a couple more programs [12:23] frandavid100: I'd say you'll need at least 2.5 gb of root [12:23] do a netinstall of debian or ubuntu [12:23] frandavid100: I think hyper_ch was advising against a separate /home due to your limited disk size, but in principal it is still a very good idea [12:23] yup that was my bet [12:23] leaving you then maybe with 1gb /home [12:23] frandavid100: or you could use damnsmalllinux [12:23] that uses much less space [12:23] na screw that also [12:23] I have it on my usb stick [12:24] get gentoo [12:24] grazie: time to learn regex... hmm 15min? [12:24] so, that would make: 2.5 / 0.5 swap 1 /home [12:24] right? [12:24] grazie: u know regex? [12:24] frandavid100: I tend to you a 1gb /home for every distro and a large data partition as well [12:24] hyper_ch: 15 years? [12:24] grazie: ok, 2h? [12:24]
