These recommendations are based on an installation that only installs one
language (such as English). If you plan to install multiple languages to use
on your system, you should increase the disk space requirements.
See Section 1.5, Which Installation Class is Best For You?, for further information regarding disk
space requirements for your specific installation needs.
Advanced Server

or KDE

, requires at least 1.0
GB of free space. Choosing both GNOME and KDE requires at least 1.3 GB of free disk space.
Custom
A Custom installation requires 350 MB for a minimal installation (without the Advanced Server
packages) and at least 3.2 GB of free space if every package is selected.
If you are not sure that you meet these conditions, or if you want to know how to create free disk space
for your Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS installation, please refer to Appendix F, An Introduction to Disk
