Seeing that you are putting /var, /usr/ and /tmp, on separate partitions, you should be able to shrink the / considerably, see ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/3.8/SIZES. The values in SIZES however do not seem to take into account such things as a ports tree or system and X source code, both of which go into /usr somewhere. On a system within reach here with full source and a ports tree, the partition which houses /, /tmp and /usr has about 3.8 used, with /usr consuming roughly 3.4 gigabytes. Skip X and system sources, you'll go a lot lighter. -- Peter N. M.
