About Minimum HDD size for Kernel Compilation
Hi All, This is very beginner type question. If I have downloaded any kernel from kernel.org site, I want to install it how much *minimum size of H I require to compile and install it*? My experience: I have compiled 3.10 kernel on VMware Workstation which had taken 40 to 60 GB of Hard Disk, I want to teach someone linux kernel compilation it is not possible that each one will have so much of large amount of hard disk size. Kindly do the needful, Thanks !! *--Regards,Mayur S Patil,A research oriented program learner,Pune, India.*

how much minimum size of H I require to compile and install it?
My experience: I have compiled 3.10 kernel on VMware Workstation which
had
taken 40 to 60 GB of Hard Disk, I want to teach someone linux kernel
compilation I have a 20 GB partition and it works perfectly. I am sure that is not because of the compilation
it is not possible that each one will have so much of large amount of
hard disk
size.
Kindly do the needful,
Thanks !!

Well... the kernel I'm running now compiles in only 2.6G of disk space. The fun is "what else is needed" - if you use git, that's another 1.2G for the current git tree. You'll need a toolchain including compilers etc. You'll need a userspace. If you already have one and are just redoing the kernel, then it's not as big a problem.

That's because you had to install a userspace in the virtual machine. Exactly how much that takes will depend on the distro you select and install options (full/minimal/devel-tools/funkychicken/poweruser/etc)
