I installed this baby on another machine with 15.3GB and had no problem. I
didn't realize this install would need so much space. Even though I could
selectively install packages, I guess I wanted more than I could have! Any
recommendations for a smaller Linux distro to load on the machine below?
Thanks for the input!
