Webspace, newsfeeds and databases aside, APT's cache takes a large chunk
of HD space... there have been reports of Potato installations failing
with /var at 1G, but working with a 2G /var partition.  It really
depends on how you do the installation; if you try and install
everything in one shot you will need 2G, if you install in pieces
(e.g., one task at a time) you can get by with a /var of a few hundred
Mb.
