following up a message from Don Woodall to Roy J. Tellason:

I ran 2.1 and WARP 3 for years in a 60 meg partition. Put sound and tcp/ip
and swap in another partition though, but I had over 10 megs left. I think I
had sound originally in there too, but moved it later.
You already have WARP installed, how much room are *you* using? Make it
sized to fit what you do.
