Help: Linux Installation!!!

[Duncan Clark]

If I recall right, a full install of 7.1 was really huge.  If you want the
OS to take up less space, pick and choose the packages that you want to
install.

Subject: Help: Linux Installation!!!

Hi,
 
Below is the history of what I did ,
 
1. I had Windows XP on my desktop.
2. Size of the hard drive is 40 gb
3. I formatted the hard drive completely.
4. Then I Installed RedHat Linux 7.1, by selecting automatically remove the
data and format option.
5. After few days I again re-installed the RH linux 7.1, like 4 or 5 times.
6. Now I found that there is only 26 GB of space available on my hard drive
instead of 40 gb. 
7. I did check all the swap space allocated by linux during install, its not
even more than 54 Mb space.
 
Can any one help me in undestanding what happened and also solution for
this.
 
Thanks,
Tej
