That's ridiculous. It doesn't need to be larger than 512M, and even that's way too large. Well, it doesn't need to be larger than this, if /usr, /var, /opt and /home are on seperate partitions, just like they should be. With EVMS or LVM, that's not at all a problem. I'd like to suggest, that you checkout LVM or EVMS and use that, when you re-setup a system. Anyway. With EVMS you can resize even /.
