[CLUE-Tech] Fedora Core 1 on a 4Gig HDD?

[Skipworthy]

Not the answer, but...

What was the specific error, and what packages are you trying to 
install? 

Maybe it's not the disk but the size of the root partition?

I haven't tried Fedora yet, BUT  I'm pretty sure I put 9.0 on a 4G 
drive, and I *know* I put 7.2 and a respectable collection of packages 
inside a 2G partition....

I guess I thought Fedora was supposed to be pretty streamlined. Is it 
possible that Fedora is really that bloated? 

feh. yet another reason to get another hat...
