What is the minimum disk space requirement to install

MediaWiki? I attempted to install it on a VDS Linux/Apache server
hosted by Jumpline with 500mb of space and at install, it returned an
error message and it also seems to have used roughly 1500mb mainly in
a tmp (500mb) file and in a /proc/kcore (1,000mb) file before giving
up. I deleted the tmp which seemed to have been created by the file
manager, but I have no idea what to do with the /proc/kcore file.
The scripts take up about 3 megabytes (including all the
localizations). Other than that you should just need the database
(space will vary with the amount of data you put in) and a handful of
temp files for session data.
/proc/kcore isn't a real file; it's a virtual file used to access your
system's memory. Nothing in /proc is an actual file on your disk drive,
so you can discount the "size" of such files.
If you're using 500mb in temp space, then something's probably very
very wrong. What kind of tmp file is this? What's it called? What's in
it?
