Yeah my first install last night had a smallish (200Mb IIRC) and it fell over in a screaming heap. It seems that during the package aquisition stage, it does lots of apt-get -d's and then apt-get installs. I agree, it should be doing apt-get clean's as it goes or something to keep the space consumption to a minimum. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
