I made an install on a 1.2 GB HDD a couple of weeks ago. I partitioned it as this: 60 MB / 40 MB /var 128 MB swap 920 MB /usr These values are maybe not 100% correct, but if I recall correct they were something as above. It has worked really ok. A tip is to not install the ports tree by default. At first, install only the sources, install cvsup as a package and get the even newer sources, then do a make world. After this you can, if you want to, get the ports tree. Maybe you also should consider to remove object files and the sources after your upgrade. Maybe this isn't even a consideration, but a must to be able to use your com- puter. I hope this small tip was useful for you and I hope it works out!
