 The now closed #misc/33567 problem report of Jan 2002, is now better
 understood by me. The report said that downgrading from version 5 of
 FreeBSD to version 4, i.e. doing a makeworld, was full of failed
 compiles.
 
 But report #33567 has little ability to show that since my
 /usr/src/contrib/ directory was largely incomplete.
 
 Also the Linux Emulator would not run because the kernel option
     DEBUG_LOCKS
 was enabled. The documentation in the LINT does not say that option
 kills the Linuxulator. (A missing vn_something symbol for linux.ko).
 
 
 This webpage says FreeBSD can get by with 350MB of hard disk space:
 
     http://www.freebsd.org/relnotes/4-STABLE/installation/i386/index.html
 
 It says:
 
        "a more realistic minimum is on the order of 250-350MB"
 
 That 350MB is too small. 3.5GB seems much more realistic.
 
 Omitting the /usr/src/contrib directory saved about 100MB +/- 20MB,
 and got my FreeBSD system that would not compile correctly, nearer
 to the suggested size.
 
 Eventually I created another FFS partition inside of a MSDOS
 extended partition, but only after quitting FreeBSD for Linux, for
 a few moments.
