4G is not a bad size. ;-)
(Longer and detailed reply sent offlist -- bottom line, there is
no definite minimum. 250MB for comp41.tgz installed, about 120MB
more to rebuild a kernel, unknowable amounts for rebuilding parts
of userland, ranging from near zero to near 2GB).
Solutions: a second fleabay disk, NFS or use a second box.
