I see a problem.
If only 3 partitions are used swap, /, and home then installing 1/2 the
available packages will fill / .
My system is a 650Athlon with a full install as well as normal updates and a
few added packages
Swap 250MB
/ 5GB 21% used
home 1.5GB 5% used
Additionally I have a 23MB /boot but that is because I am using System
Commander2000 as
my bootloader.
