3511	Disk space requirements for x64	tsg1zzn	bdubbs@…	"In the book, version 7.4, chapter 2.2. Creating a New Partition it says:
''""A minimal system requires a partition of around 2.8 gigabytes (GB). This is enough to store all the source tarballs and compile the packages.""''

However, already in chapter 5 I went over that temporarily. After compiling and installing gcc for the first time, but before deleting the directory I checked the disk space and df reported 3.3 gig total, around 295 mb free.

This is on x86_64, which has larger binaries than x86."	task	closed	normal	7.6	Book	SVN	normal	fixed
