I guess we're gonna have to remove "software bloat" as a discussion point
when debating Windoze vs Linux. Yeah, yeah, Linux is faster, more reliable,
yadda-yadda, so save your comments and flames.

This thread ends here.<---

FWIW, I've gotten that error with a 1897 MB "/" partition. Developer install
fits if I eliminate some packages, identifiable gnome stuff in my case.

Workstation install fits without problems.

Post-install, I've got 273 MB free space.
