The docs say it needs 2.5G. My experience is it needs at a bare minimum
4GB. And I have not installed PHP/MySql/Apache yet.
In 1998 I bought a box set of RedHat 5.2 or was it 4.2.... point is, the
entire install fit on 4 micro floppy disks. I recall in 2000
downloading Debian and it was 4 or 5 micro floppies.
