Exerpt from the file postgres.README, to be found with the Linux postgres
port:

Q: Space requirements?
----------------------
Binaries:	2 MB HD Space + Database space
		4 MB RAM + some swap, if nothing else is running.
		(maybe more, I have 8 MB and did not test with 4)

Docs:		a) troff source:    2 MB HD
		b) postscript dump: 2 MB HD

You probably won't need to by another hard disk to run postgres.

Without X-Windows and LaTeX, Linux can be installed on a 20 MB partition.
