Sorry, but I don't think you can install with that. 10 years ago, think it
was, I was giving /, /usr and /var 4G. For most of the time since then, I
went to 20G for /usr, then 40G. And I gave /opt 20G. Giving 1G for /var is
*asking* for trouble - what happens when you have a hardware error, or an
intrusion attempt, and the logs fill the partition?

Oh, and while you're at it, install and run something like fail2ban, and
maybe clamav.
