Hello netters,

I hope someone can help me,  I am about to buy a HD to install
unix BSD386 and X on.

Is ~250Mb drive large enough, I am talking binaries only.

I also want to have room for ~20M /tmp (Is 20M to Large/Small?)
and have all useful GNU things like gcc, gdb, etc.

I have used unix for a while, but only as a user and have had no Administrator
skill or installation still for any unix machine.

I have looked at other unix platforms but since it must be bsd compliant
the best this to do is use BSD.

Thanks in advance,

Gary.
