Interesting!  I will definitely look that up.

I already have 1.2 GB.  IIRC I had 150MB for / and 380MB for /usr.  I want to install comp, man, xbase, xcomp, xfont, xserver - maybe that's not enough?  It does total 151MB.

Doh!  I guess I really need to try getting sysinst to work right this next time.  I thought setting up the fstab before installing the base sets was supposed to handle this.  It would explain how it ran out of space during the last set though - I was 1MB short on the root partition.
