initial version

There is no "full" installation of ROS as ROS supports many different types of robots. It sounds like you installed the "pr2all" version of ROS C Turtle, which comes with many PR2-specific capabilities.

In Diamondback, we have tried to streamline the stacks that you get when you install. The packages themselves are also about half their size in C Turtle.

The following are the sizes of some recommended installs:

442MB ros-diamondback-desktop
1.1GB ros-diamondback-desktop-full

NOTE: you have to install drivers separately.

If you need to use arm navigation, which is still experimental, it will add about 500MB to your installation.
