That idemo would be helpful, but you know that my scripts are *very*
different.  If I'm feeling nasty I might even send you my
'functions' script - it contains a lot of historical baggage.

Because I keep older systems around for some time, I never used
separate /opt.  When I started installing full TL I had to bind some
space in /opt.  My current partitioning for desktop systems uses
25GB for '/' and tmpfs for /tmp (usually too small for big packages,
but building elsewhere saves things across reboots).  I have not yet
repartitioned my haswell, that only has about 20GB : it gets tight
(but with kde and gnome built for testing, even 25GB might get a bit
pokey).

If I ever get round to QA builds with jhalfs I'll probably use *much*
bigger filesystems for that - but I won't have to worry about the
backup space for that.  But many hardware changes are needed before
I can get to there, it might not happen.
