Installation is easier since packages that fit your desired
profile are automatically marked for installation. Each given profile
lists the size of the resulting system after installation is complete.
Even if you don't use these profiles, this discussion is important for
planning, since it will give you a sense of how large your partition or
partitions need to be. The following are some of the available profiles
and their sizes:
Server_std.
This is a small server profile, useful for a stripped-down server,
that does not have a lot of niceties for shell users. It basically
has an FTP server, a web server, DNS, NIS, and POP. It will take
up around 50MB. Of course, this is just the size of the software;
any data you serve would be additional.
Dialup.
This profile would be good for a standard desktop box, including
the X Window system, graphics applications, sound, editors, etc.
The size of the packages will be around 500MB.
Work_std.
This profile is suitable for a stripped-down user machine without
the X Window system or X applications.
