I added FreeBSD-provided `FreeBSD-12.2-RELEASE-amd64.vhd` to a VirtualBox (on a
FreeBSD-CURRENT host). 

<https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x11-wm.html#x11-wm-kde>
suggests: 

pkg install x11/kde5

This can not be done; there's insufficient space. 

### Enhancement request

Please give the virtual hard disks for virtual machines (not just
FreeBSD-12.2-RELEASE-amd64) as much virtual capacity as possible. 

Doing so need not significantly increase the download sizes. A virtual 2 TB
disk for FreeBSD can have an initial actual size, non-compressed, of less than
3.5 GB on the host.
