How much disk space to install CentOS?
12,889
Solution 1
4 GB should be sufficient for /. Add another 4 GB for /var. So in sum 8 GB should be enough (I use no swapspace).
That`s what I use as standard for our virtual CentOS 5 machines. They normally never hit the 80% mark in that setup.
Solution 2
If you use Fedora's AOS kickstart then you can get it down to under 500MB or so.
