Comment 4 for bug 745148

Hmmm, df -H shows:

lance@lance-desktop:~$ df -H
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdb1 77G 2.7G 71G 4% /
none 1.1G 730k 1.1G 1% /dev
none 1.1G 1.3M 1.1G 1% /dev/shm
none 1.1G 103k 1.1G 1% /var/run
none 1.1G 0 1.1G 0% /var/lock

I'd have sworn earlier that previous installs were coming in about 3.06 GB according to gparted, but it's typically not something I pay incredibly close attention to.

I generally recommend 10GB minimum for / if no separate /home is being created just as a matter of practicality.
