Sorry, approx 40 gigs. My "A" machine is 433mhz, 128 megs RAM, and
17gigs disk.

Question... along comes the "next version". I blow away the OS
partition(s) and re-install. The new install will ask for a local user
account to be created. If I have attempt to create one with the same
name as the previous install (i.e. waltdnes), will any existing files in
/home/waltdnes get over-written ?

I'm trying to get as close as possible to One Big Partition, without
the problems. The minimal needs seem to be...
/
swap
/var
userspace+miscellaneous
