According to my rule of thumb, to be able to successfully install Parrot GNU/Linux (Parrot-security-4.1_amd64) on either physical machine or virtual machine, you need, at least, 20 GiB of disk space. To have more room for further installation of extra applications, I recommend to reserve 39 GiB disk space for its installation based on 2 GiB swap space, and the following disk partition layout plan should be adopted:
File System
|
File System Type
|
Size
|
/
|
ext4
|
28 GiB
|
/boot
|
ext4
|
512 MiB
|
/home
|
ext4
|
512 MiB
|
swap
|
swap
|
2 GiB
|
/var
|
ext4
|
6 GiB
|
/tmp
|
ext4
|
2 GiB
|
At least / needs 12 GiB if you adopt to have only root partition (/), and the swap. It is up on you to plan more disk space rather than taking the above figures in the table into your consideration.
Also by so doing, my purpose is to initially have a disk space occupancy rate less than 50% for each file system (disk partition)
