In Fedora TeXlive 2015 (scheme-full) requires 5.1 GB. The difference is
that TL is based also on programs that are parts of Linux (ghostscript,
perl, etc.). These programs have to be shipped with TL for Windows and it
takes some additional space. If you need to save space, do not install
documentation, you can always find it on the web.
