If one wants to install "everything" (say, everything on a 2.2.1
distribution, including the source, games, and ports) for FreeBSD
on a large disk, what partition sizing is a good idea?  I.e. how
much for /, how much for /usr, and how much for other partitions,
if any (/var?)?  Assume just a desktop machine, not a web server
that gets lots of hits or anything like that.
