A full install of 2.2 is supposed to be 164 MB, but that doesn't include swap. Here is a net exchange between Casper Dik and Gil Tene:

Gil replies: On my system, with a full Solaris installation (EVERYTHING selected) + gnu's binary stuff for solaris (off of the Catalyst CD) installed in /opt I see a similar situation to the above plus :
16852 /opt/SUNWabe 19 /opt/SUNWcg12 7968 /opt/SUNWdiag 721 /opt/SUNWgt 7740 /opt/SUNWits 14609 /opt/cygnus-sol2-1.0
(output from "du -k -s /opt/*")
- SUNWabe is the end user answerbook stuff. (vi, mail, Deskset tools etc, etc)
- SUNWcg12 is (obviously) cg12 support.
- SUNWdiag is obvious too.
- SUNWgt is support for gt boards.
- SUNWits is the xgl3.0 library (it has libPEX5.so.1 in there too).
- cygnus-sol2-1.0 is the gcc2.0+tools stuff. I have gcc2.3.3 on another partition and that takes about the same space as 2.0 does.
Another important note : The full Solaris 2.1 answerbook takes up 164MB on disk. I highly recommend installing it and not using it off the CDROM drive. It's much more usable (faster) this way. And it always stays around -- even when you have something else in the CDROm drive.
