Hello there, i have just installed linux on a partation on my hard drive. When it came to the part about selecting the packages I wished to install, i only had 280mb free disk space. So i unselected everything and selected install. Now I have linux installed (Mandrake 9) but no packages and when I try and install some now I only have 116mb of free disk, which is not enough. Can anybody help me with this please?? Thank you in advance!

depends on what you want, cant just squeeze an install into that little space.

A full install is probably in excess of 1 gigabyte.A minimal text mode only install is probably 300-350mb.

Either set up your own from scratch or find a smaller lighter linux distro to try
