Hard disk space
All of the packages from a DVD install can occupy over 9 GB of disk space. The final install size is determined by the installing spin and the packages selected during installation. Additional disk space is required during installation to support the installation environment. The additional disk space corresponds to the size of /Fedora/base/stage2.img plus the size of the files in /var/lib/rpm on the installed system.
In practical terms the additional space requirements may range from as little as 90 MiB for a minimal installation to as much as an additional 175 MiB for a larger installation.
Additional space is also required for any user data and at least 5% free space should be maintained for proper system operation.
