Could you please tell me how big FreeBSD is, in terms
of both (1) the bare minimum needed to run
applications and (2) the typical installation.  How
many 1.44MB diskettes, for example.  

The point of my interest has to do with an old concern
about how the OS's (Microsoft's especially) have
become gargantuan in size.  

Thank you!

Mark Goodell, Richmond, VA.
