Slight correction; I just did a fresh install of Hardy Beta and it takes
2.6Gb (including swap). Also had forgotten that I have Gutsy server &
Gnome desktop installed on another system that only has a 4.1Gb hard
drive - I don't recommend that as it currently only has about 577MB left
on the drive... I use it as a print server.
