Hi

Probably but disk space hasn't been any problem for me
over past few years.


Twice weekly builds:
20G  nbsd-6_1386/       tools, 6x kernels, release, iso-image,
                        install-image, live-image

Weekly builds:
18G  nbsd-6_amd64/      tools, release, iso-image, install-image,
                        live-image

23G  nbsd-cur_i386/     tools, release, iso-image, install-image,
                        live-image

18G  nbsd-cur_amd64/    tools, 1x kernel, release, iso-image,
                        install-image, live-image


My internet routers, servers and lan pcs were all nbsd-6/i386
but a couple of lan pcs were amd64 with > 3G ram and these
are now running nbsd-cur/amd64.
