The folders that hold the files for that are used to create the DVDs,
use the following space on a Linux formated drive:

3.3.3
Windows only - 1.9 GB
Windows, Linux [deb, rpm], Mac [PPC, Intel] - 3.7 GB

3.4.1
Windows only - 1.8 GB
Windows, Linux [deb, rpm], Mac [PPC, Intel] - 3.4 GB

The DVDs have a larger space need due to the formatting type.
3.3.3 has two Windows installs all-language and multi-language
3.4.1 has only one Windows install "multi-language".

Windows - 8 help packs plus the install file - 9 total for 3.4.1 and 10 
for 3.3.3

Linux - deb/rpm/32-bit/64-bit - 8x4 help packs and 7x4 language packs
           60 files total plus the install files - 64 files total

Mac - PPC/Intel - have 14 total language pack files, but no help packs - 
16 files total.

Plus all the dictionaries, documentation, extensions, templates, 
artwork, etc., etc..

That takes a lot of file space.
