Hi all,

I'm just getting into 386BSD and have a simple question. I'm ready to reformat
my hard drive so that I can load up 386BSD and would like to know how much
disk space to allow for Xfree86? I only have the 10 floppy 0.2 distribution
at the moment, but will order Xree86 as soon as I'm sure 386BSD is happy on
my PC... I figure 0.2 will eat up about 35Mb. If I create an 80Mb partition
for 386BSD, will that leave me enough space for Xfree86 and some room to work?
I can probably squeeze out 100Mb or maybe even 120Mb if I had to without buying 
a new hard drive...

Thanks,

Garry
