The next time I get a system I will repartition it right away
and leave an "upgrade" partition.  I did pretty good with the
30gb partition up until recently and the new 500gb drive will
probably never miss a minimal install partition. Once a new
system is in, I can then eventually move everything over or
delete it and put the next upgrade on the earlier / partition.
That's the theory anyway. 

I was suprised the Beaver ISO did not install g++ etc in minimal
mode. All the packages pre-built now? And yes I went and
got ifconfig too lol.
