Disk Space Requirements for a Cold-Install
Table 2-1 lists the amount of disk space allocated for the indicated
partitions during a default cold-install for each Operating Environment.
(The percentage used in each partition is in parentheses.)
Depending on how much disk space is available, you can change the
partition size to meet your needs. For information about modifying your
file system, see Managing Systems and Workgroups: A Guide for HP-UX
