Unless  you put it on a 9GB drive, install all the SGI freeware, add a
couple Quake dirs, install some opensource stuff, and then go and have a
$HOME over 2GB.  At which point you find yourself considering getting an
18GB drive.

But I suppose I could stick another 18GB (or 36GB :) drive in it and use it
as /usr, and then not have to worry about reinstalling.  Yeah, that's a
better idea....
