Pierre Jarillon, 

Thanks for the suggestions. 

I wrote about Mageia 2 because it was what I could do at this point.
Is ready and should be corrected and improved, then it will be easy to upgrade 
to Mageia 3.

I agree with you, I think very little, I prefer with 6 GB, but the site of 
Mageia says that the minimum requirement is 1 GB: 
| https://www.mageia.org/en/support/
"Hardware Requirements: 
(...)
Storage (HDD): 1GB for a minimal installation, 6GB for a full setup;" 

I don't know how to improve this text:
("the minimum can even be 2GB, but more than 6GB would be reasonable. More 
than 20GB is not needed".)
