Jean - please fix your mailer.  Its sending junk to the list, including
something that looks like html but isn't.

The safest thing to do is set your email client to text only
here is a URL which will tell you how to do that:

section.

However,additional disk space is required during the installation to support theinstallation environment. This additional disk space corresponds to thesize of /Fedora/base/stage2.img (on CD-ROM 1) plus the size of the filesin /var/lib/rpm on the installed system.In practical terms, this means that as little as an additional 90MB canbe required for a minimal installation, while as much as an additional175MB can be required for an "everything" installation.Also, keep in mind that additional space will be required for any userdata, and at least 5% free space should be maintained for proper systemoperation.*Custom Installation (Minimal): 620MB*Server: 1.1GB*Personal Desktop: 2.3GB*Workstation: 3!
