Maybe I didn't quite say it right -- I've got a GIS system (which is
huge) along with really huge geographic data files (one directory is
3.6G), OpenOffice, and a lot of non-distribution stuff in /opt -- you
ought to be able to install all of Slackware 12 (it's not that much
bigger than 11) in 20G without a problem (20G is, after all, a lot of
gig!). I don't install any add-on software in /usr (if I can help it),
preferring to install in /usr/local (which is a mounted partition). Just
make your root partition a little bigger, perhaps? Remember that some
stuff got moved around between 11 and 12. I have a laptop that I didn't
bother to partition (other than root and swap) and, with all the GIS and
other add-on stuff, the total use is 19G (the GIS data adds up to
roughly 5G). And, if you don't install X, well I'd think you'd have
plenty of space.

Just a thought.
