Hard Disk space required for V5.1?

[Rickie]

I would like to know how much space of the hard disk I required to install
AIX V5.1.

I have a very old RS/6000 with 2GB hard disk which is running V4.2.1. that
is more for testing purpose. I would like to upgrade this, but afraid that
the space is not enough. Any hints? Thanks.

I did a minimal installation of 5.1 on one of my C10's 2GB disks and
have plenty of space left to add filesets but probably won't be adding
anything to do with X11, CDE or the documentation. The installation took
just over an hour from CD. The actual figures for interest are:-
