Good question. Probably at least another 20MB or so. Again, give yourself some extra room if you plan to do much... For example, gcc takes about 50MB if you want to do a full compile. Most software packages are smaller... ;-) (NetBSD/mac68k comes with gcc 2.4.5--like most of the other NetBSD ports). >3.
