Is it normal for 12.04 to occupy almost 4GB?
- by Grant
I'm using a ASUS EeePC 901 and have some basic questions/issues. I installed 12.04 on the 4GB drive, selecting the option to erase it before doing so. Immediately after the installation I saw that Update Manager had over 100 updates pending. I attempted to install these, but was told that I had less than 100 MB remaining. Does the OS occupy all the other space?
It seems that the best solution is to install 12.04 on the 16GB drive. Is this true?
If I do this, what is the best way to erase the 4GB drive afterwards?
