A standard installation for the amd64 architecture, including all standard packages and using the default kernel, takes up 1242MB of disk space. A minimal base installation, without the “Standard system utilities” task selected, will take 1012MB.

下面的表格一一列出了 tasksel 中每個軟體集所需的磁碟空間大小。該列表是使用 aptitude 產生的。請注意，有些軟體集之間會有相重疊的部分，所以兩個軟體集一同 安裝後所佔的空間，可能會小於這兩個軟體集分別安裝所佔的空間。

By default the installer will install the GNOME desktop environment, but alternative desktop environments can be selected either by using one of the special installation images, or by specifying the desired desktop environment during installation (see 節 6.3.6.2, “Selecting and Installing Software”).

Note that you will need to add the sizes listed in the table to the size of the standard installation when determining the size of partitions. Most of the size listed as “Installed size” will end up in /usr and in /lib; the size listed as “Download size” is (temporarily) required in /var.

If you install in a language other than English, tasksel may automatically install a localization task, if one is available for your language. Space requirements differ per language; you should allow up to 350MB in total for download and installation.
