ES 3.0 Disk Space Requirement

[Carr, Steve M CW4 FL-ARNG]

I gave  "/ (root) 5GB, "/var" 3GB and "/usr" 1GB.  The system came back and
told me I needed 3.2GB more for "/usr".  I could not backup to the place of
partitioning so, I'm starting over.  I have "/home" at 1GB , "/tmp" at
200MB, and "/opt" at 1GB.  I can only guess at "/usr"(give it 4.5GB this
next try). "/opt", and "/tmp" since there is no documentation stating
suggested sizes.

this is if / includes the other directories you specified.
(i.e. the TOTAL disk space required is 5GB + /var )
you'll get away with 512Mb on / (and possibly less).
of the other directories you mention, only /usr will have software 
installed into it.
/home - well this depends on your users and how much space they will 
require.
the same applies to /tmp.
There are very good arguments for making /tmp and /home  different 
partitions.
(if either of them fill up, X will stop working)
