Yes, but with 16GB RAM it shouldn't be that easy to hit the limit. My<br>
root partition has 10GB size and usually I have about 6,5GB free. So<br>
installung some packages shouldn't be a problem. As I already wrote<br>
this behaviour started to appear about 3-4 ago. What I saw at almost<br>
the same time was that my iso images schrank with about 25-30MB in<br>
size. This isn't just a coincidence...<br>
