I do plan to place my home directory in a separate drive so
how much space will I need for HyperbolaBSD beyond the initial installation?
Thanks.

It isn't out yet, but I suspect, you might only need 25GB,

HyperbolaBSD will probably be wayyy less bloated then the curent one...

Btw, that isn't Hyperbola's fault, its the fault of those who keep bloating the userspace and kernel...

just as a heads up...

As HyperbolaBSD is not even there as Alpha there is no information at that point to be said.
