How much space does Win2K need for a standard installation?

My Win2K directory is almost 900meg. I have it installed on a 3gb partition. There is 1.8gb used on the 3gb partition. ALL my apps and programs (including the internet temp file) are on another partition. Hope this helps.

Amazingly, I have a pretty small Win2K setup. I have a 5 gig partition for it and Win2K, Office 2K, and Visio take up just 1.5 gig.

1.5 GB is pretty much standard for Win2K Pro and Office 2K, give or take 100MB or so depending on the options that you have selected.

Win2K itself is around 800-900MB, with the swap file being around 200MB, and the dll cache and driver cache taking another hefty chunk of around 150-200MB.
