	Ok, so how about a semi-definitive answer to that age-old
question.  I want to know how much hard disk space I should allocate
for a fairly complete freebsd system.  I'm talking binaries, CVS source
tree, and room to make the world.  I'll add swap space and room for my
files as needed.  Assume a fairly luxurious system with some games,
ports, etc.  Disk space is fairly cheap right now, but it's always good
to plan ahead.  Any takers? :)

Thanks,

Doug
