How much HDD space does FreeBSD need?

[Soo-Hyun Choi]

Well, I have just formatted the portion that FreeBSD is placed. And I
have just been reinstalling the whole system again. I found that the
disk shortage does not come from gnome but from OpenOffice 1.1
installation.

Then, would OpenOffice require a large HDD space? (If it does, how much large?)

For your reference, I have partitioned (and labeled) the disk by using
Auto Allocation(?) option in FreeBSD disk labeler.

Thank you.
