That's enough for the download -- the binary tree is only 94MB.  You
could fit the entire debian-0.93/ in there, source and all, it only
comes to 224MB.  Here's how the binaries break down:

	2902    binary/math
	606     binary/admin
	5748    binary/base
	1811    binary/comm
	23822   binary/devel
	1470    binary/doc
	8670    binary/editors
	346     binary/electronics
	2793    binary/games
	1159    binary/graphics
	166     binary/hamradio
	2968    binary/mail
	1992    binary/misc
	6143    binary/net
	697     binary/news
	426     binary/shells
	514     binary/sound
	7652    binary/tex
	5723    binary/text
	18699   binary/x11
	1       binary/binary
	94499   binary

And as for /usr, I think 500MB is plenty.  I only need 360MB with
practically everything installed, including 60MB of local, non-Debian
software.

	795     /usr/X11R5
	53204   /usr/X11R6
	522     /usr/X386
	0       /usr/adm
	40172   /usr/bin
	404     /usr/dict
	25152   /usr/doc
	23      /usr/etc
	1907    /usr/games
	0       /usr/gnu
	1       /usr/hosts
	4675    /usr/i486-linuxaout
	3988    /usr/include
	6583    /usr/info
	133288  /usr/lib
	58325   /usr/local
	12      /usr/lost+found
	14196   /usr/man
	12515   /usr/private
	3900    /usr/sbin
	0       /usr/spool
	856     /usr/src
	0       /usr/tmp
	360516  /usr

I wish I knew an easy way.  I only know these figures because I mirror
the distribution, so I can do a du on my local drive.  Another way
might be to do a "ls -lR" and calculate the total by hand.

The total size, just a few days out-of-date, is 779,845 MB.  I wonder
how that would fit on a cdrom.  :-)
