That may be large enough for emacs (no predictions for XEmacs though)
but I'm not totally sure it will be large enough for XFree86 or KDE3.
Don't forget that when a package has dependencies, they're all
recursively extracted in turn until the dependency graph is down to
all the leaf nodes.  For KDE or GNOME, that could be quite a few
packages lying unpacked in $TMPDIR simultaneously.
