How does Debian use filesystem space? Today, I did a complete i386 base system installation under VmWare, using Debian Installer beta3. This means that, when arrived at tasksel screen, I didn't choose any task and just finished the installation.
The chosen language was French (this probably doesn't change anything). sources.list: deb http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/ testing main deb-src http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/ testing main deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main This downloaded and installed all packages which I think are part of the base system. The full size of the installed system (on one unique partition) was exactly 304419kb on this i386 system. The installed packages were: adduser apt apt-utils aptitude at base-config base-files base-passwd bash bc bin86 bind9-host binutils bison bsdmainutils bsdutils console-common console-data console-tools coreutils cpio cpp cpp-3.3 cramfsprogs cron dash dc debconf debconf-i18n debianutils dhcp-client dictionaries-common diff discover discover-data dnsutils doc-debian doc-linux-text dpkg dpkg-dev dselect e2fslibs e2fsprogs ed eject exim4 exim4-base exim4-config exim4-daemon-light fdutils file findutils finger flex ftp g++ g++-3.3 gcc gcc-3.3 gcc-3.3-base gdb gettext-base gnu-efi gnupg grep groff-base grub gzip hostname hotplug iamerican ibritish ifupdown info initrd-tools initscripts ipchains ipmasqadm iptables iputils-ping iso-codes ispell kernel-image-2.4.25-1-386 kernel-pcmcia-modules-2.4.25-1-386 klogd less libacl1 libattr1 libblkid1 libbz2-1.0 libc6 libc6-dev libcap1 libcomerr2 libconsole libdb1-compat libdb2 libdb3 libdb4.0 libdb4.1 libdb4.2 libdiscover1 libdns11 libdns5 libgc1 libgcc1 libgcrypt1 libgcrypt7 libgdbm3 libgnutls10 libgnutls5 libgnutls7 libgpg-error0 libgpmg1 libident libidn11 libisc4 libisc7 libldap2 liblocale-gettext-perl liblockfile1 liblwres1 liblzo1 libmagic1 libncurses5 libncursesw5 libnewt0.51 libnss-db libopencdk4 libopencdk8 libpam-modules libpam-runtime libpam0g libpcap0.7 libpcre3 libperl5.6 libpopt0 libreadline4 libsasl2 libsigc++-1.2-5c102 libss2 libssl0.9.7 libstdc++5 libstdc++5-3.3-dev libtasn1-0 libtasn1-2 libtext-charwidth-perl libtext-iconv-perl libtext-wrapi18n-perl libtextwrap1 libuuid1 libwrap0 linux-kernel-headers locales login logrotate lpr lsof m4 mailx make makedev man-db manpages manpages-dev mawk mime-support modutils mount mpack mtools mtr-tiny mutt nano ncurses-base ncurses-bin ncurses-term net-tools netbase netkit-inetd nfs-common nvi passwd patch pciutils pcmcia-cs perl perl-base perl-modules pidentd popularity-contest portmap ppp pppconfig pppoe pppoeconf procmail procps psmisc python python-newt python2.3 rcs reportbug sed setserial sharutils slang1 slang1a-utf8 ssh strace sysklogd syslinux sysv-rc sysvinit tar tasksel tcpd tcsh telnet texinfo time traceroute util-linux vacation w3m wamerican wget whiptail whois zlib1g Directory size in root (kb): 2799 bin 5107 boot 1 cdrom 1 cdrom0 83 dev 1292 etc 1 floppy 5 home 1 initrd 0 initrd.img 32677 lib 12 lost+found 1 media 1 mnt 1 opt 8 root 2840 sbin 1 srv 1 sys 5 tmp 193629 usr 57483 var 0 vmlinuz Directory size in /usr (kb): 5 X11R6 21735 bin 1 doc 18 games 9894 include 0 info 70775 lib 11 local 3022 sbin 88166 share 1 src Directory size in /usr/share (kb) 4 adduser 3 applnk 3 apps 551 aptitude 6 base-files 3 base-passwd 2 binfmts 182 bison 15 bug 192 calendar 81 common-licenses 23 console 469 consolefonts 160 consoletrans 15 debconf 894 dict 4 dictionaries-common 254 discover 23615 doc 21 doc-base 5 dpkg 179 emacs 4 gnome 10 gnupg 754 groff 6616 i18n 3 ifupdown 1678 info 11 initrd-tools 2 initscripts 114 iso-codes 532 keymaps 141 ldap 13 lintian 29224 locale 4 mailx 5543 man 6 man-db 1376 misc 7 nano 5 pam 2 passwd 9068 perl 247 perl5 11 pixmaps 3 popularity-contest 6 ppp 388 reportbug 6 sysvinit 5 tabset 10 tasksel 2276 terminfo 17 texinfo 279 texmf 1430 unidata 1 util-linux 86 vi 1 videomodes 31 w3m 1573 zoneinfo Directory size in /var (kb): 10 backups 11384 cache 41257 lib 1 local 1 lock 4793 log 3 mail 1 opt 20 run 12 spool 2 tmp Directory size in /var/lib (kb): 15612 apt 1 aptitude 10 dhcp 6 dictionaries-common 1 discover 25599 dpkg 11 exim4 1 logrotate 6 misc 4 nfs 3 setserial 2 urandom -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
