I can't tell you what size it would be, but apt can. If you update your
sources.list to dapper, do 'apt-get update' to update the package list, and
'apt-get dist-upgrade', apt will tell you how many packages and how many MB
are needed to download. It'll give you a y/n choice about whether you want
to go ahead or not.
