So it sounds like you had:
- standard
- SSH server
- print server
> tmpfs tmpfs 102788 348 102440 1% /run
> /dev/sda2 ext4 2065152 1878636 61896 97% /
I'm surprised it took 1.8 GB.
I just performed an installation with standard + SSH server and I
have about 600 MB:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2 6.3G 617M 5.4G 11% /

Maybe it makes sense to increate root a bit.
