df command and free/available space.

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.
