That depends on what you mean by "full". The base install of FreeBSD itself is a GB or 2, I think. Maybe 2.5 GB at most. But if you install all binaries, source code, XFree86 (source and binaries), and all of the ports (without using a "cd /usr/ports ; make clean" command to get rid of the left-overs) you could be looking at 6 GB or more. This is mostly a guess. For what its worth, I've got the 3.2 source and binaries, XFree86 binaries, and a lot of ports (though no where near all of them) and my /usr partition has about 3.3GB in it.
