 a make world can chew up a bit, as well as the cvs tree, x, the ports,
 and the rest... i found last time i built a release i needed a bit over
 a gig scratch to do it in..

 lets say 2Gb and you shouldn't have space problems.. not for a few
 weeks anyway :)   

 peter (churning along with much less than 2Gb..)

 PS.  make sure its scsi (just to add fuel to religious wars..)
