I'm showing my age. You could load a program into a Data General Nova or
a DEC PDP 11 from the front panel switches which would read a program
from a paper tape reader. When you did that the program loader might be
thought of as the OS and it wasn't much bigger than 16 bytes, it was
probable 32 or 64 bytes.

Obviously I meant 16G for the root partition. You can get away with 8G
but you occasionally start filling that up with things that are cached,
the yum cache in particular. With 16G you never run into a problem so
that's the number I use these days.

Can you post the output of "fdisk -l"?
