Thanks for the suggestion. I might end up doing that, since I can't compile some of the biggest ports (php-5.6 right now). This seems to be a common newbie problem. Expert users change the default partitioning on install, knowing they may need to compile some big port, but I think 2GB isn't a safe default for those people who will precisely be using the defaults since they don't know any better.
