This amount is equal to that required for a minimal install and must be present prior to pkg selection even if the entent is to install no additional pkgs. You could try booting 'failsafe' and start only the 'basic' and absolutly necessary services, X is not a necessary service. Once you reach the login try resetting your X config then startx. Depending upon what type of power outage you suffered as well as if your machine was strck by unincumbered surges you may have well also suffered hardware damage. Charles
