auto partitioning for sizes around there is hopeless, you will need
to carve it up yourself or edit the auto defaults (I suggest deleting
/usr/src /usr/obj /usr/X11R6, then using R to adjust sizes on others
- I'd give / 1GB, /usr maybe 6GB or so, probably bump /usr/local up
a bit if you're installing many things from packages)
