10 Gigs is not enough if you let BlueOnyx automatically set up the partitions.
So it is good that you report this, so that I can post a respective notice on
the download page.
The default partitioning looks like this:
/ 6144 MB
/boot 250 MB
/var 4096 MB
/tmp 2048 MB
swap 4096 MB
/home all remaining space
Not counting /home that allocates 12.538 MB already.
For testing purpose do the following:
Boot off the CD and at the BlueOnyx splash screen (and instead of pressing
enter) type:
linux self
Then press return. That will fire up the BlueOnyx installer in a fashion that
it allows you to define partitions (and their sizes) yourself.
