====Hard disk size====

The amount of physical harddisk size taken up by the contribs.org data will be about 30Gb, the [http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/release /release] tree, which holds the iso images and the repositories, accounts for about 6Gb of said amount. The [http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs /contribs] tree will account for a little over 1Gb of the total.
