Because I was increasing the sizes of /tmp and /var at the same time; because
I know that some users do somehow manage to fill up /; and because re@ told
me to. :-)

I still have a 128MB / on most of my systems.

You'll only get a 500MB / if you have more than 10GB of space on your hard
disk.  I don't think that going from 2.5% of the disk up to 5% of the disk
is problematically wasteful, particularly since we're only talking about the
_default_ value and it's very easy to change in sysinstall.
