    At he time I have a multiboot PC: Windows 11, Gentoo, Linux From Scratch.
    I tried to experiment with fog, so I installed it on an old Intel NUC with 256GB disk space and debian 12 which is no enough even to capture my smallest OS LFS. How much disk space do I need to store the images? Would you suggest to extend this NUC or get another PC?

      @hariskar It looks like your root partition ‘/’ has 1.8T or 1800GB of space. The command I would have run is df -h to give you usage. but assuming that debian is less that 50GB you should have plenty of space to capture a modern computer with 50GB of data. Use single disk resizable to use zstd to compress that 50GB of data down even smaller.

      What error message are you getting? A screen shot of the error might help set the context of the error.

      Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!
