I think Bernie estimated 2.5 GB including /gnuish.
The *actual* download for me (/msdos), as reported
by wget, was:
"Downloaded: 1,884,283,743 bytes in 12755 files"
which takes up 1892244k of ext2fs disk space.
I'll be interested to see how much space is taken
up on a DOS FS... that is, I'm *assuming* you're
putting this on a DOS hard drive, yes?

Considering the size of the files, I don't think the wasted space would be too
serious on a DOS partition of 2 GB or just under with cluster size 32768 bytes.
But all those 1884283743 bytes might not fit into one partition.
Arachne or UKA_PPP, with all those small files, would be very wasteful of disk
space on a large DOS partition.
