Minimum recommended partition size for Lite 3.4 64 install?

[maciaccio]

Wow, you guys are great!

Sorry for delay...before your last post, I had already decided to wipe drive clean. I had about 20 browser tabs open reading forum posts regarding much of what you last posted. It was a bit overwhelming, so it was really nice to see your post with specific instructions for my situation. Once LL installed on first partition, I spent the rest of the night setting it up..no desire for another distro install right now...gonna keep things simple and get to know LL, I already love it!

So far...

1) I uploaded Hardware config to LL 

2) I went to Synaptic Pkg mgr and found the mythical Broadcom wifi drivers for BCM4318. The hardware switch was turning on/off the usb wifi dongle which was kinda cool...after reboot the on-board WiFi works, switch and all...tho I may replace on-board adapter with a faster one...

3) Installed zRam

4) Fixed key-ring config pop-up when opening Google Chrome - using an LL forum post. (I had forgotten the password I had initially entered.)

5) Bluetooth, WiFi & Sound Indicators went missing this morning..."No Indicators" on taskbar... but followed another LL forum post to reset, and after reboot, they are back to normal.

6) Installed Chrome using Terminal - sudo.


Everything just works! And it is performing well for its hardware specs.


Thanks again for all your help. I hope I haven't gotten off topic too bad, and that this thread is useful to other newbies installing Linux Lite.

Glad you got things going and most things working well.  Would recommend you now start new threads for each of the "minor" issues you have (one per issue).  That way it's easier for people who may know solutions to see what your problems are and answer them.  If you try solving them in this thread many people may not even know about them because they haven't read this far along to know they exist.  It also makes it easier for others after you to find solutions when they see thread titles specific to their similar problem.  Title of this thread will give them no clue that possible solutions for VLC, battery, etc. may also be contained here.
