Debian Jr. Quick Guide
Chapter 4 Prerequisites


Debian Jr. will have its first release in Debian 3.0 "Woody". Therefore, to run it, you must at least have a Debian Woody system. As of February 2002, Woody has not been released, but is ready to try, provided you are patient with the occasional problem and help file bug reports as needed.

Debian Jr. will add approximately 320M to a base Woody install. In addition to this, some space is required for X, a window manager, and some other programs of your choosing, as well as space for home directories and system overhead. The recommended minimum hard drive size is therefore 700M, with 1G being preferred. Of course, smaller installations are possible if you choose fewer components to install.
