>Description:
I have not bee able to find how much space will be required to install FreeBSD using the variuos options on the install menu. It would be really nice if each option had, in it's description, an indication of how much disk space would be required. At first I thought, this FreeBSD is really great, takes up much less space than a Linux installation! However when I tried to install my choices, including KDE, to a 700MB FreeBSD partition, it ran out of space. Reality Check!
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
Indicate in the documentation and if possible the install menus, the approximate amount of disk space required to install various options.
