You can save a bit if you compress the man pages, don't install the games, etc. In fact, it's been that small ever since shared libraries went in our source tree. Nice to see that your information is up to date. -- - Charles Hannum NetBSD group Working ports: i386, hp300, amiga, sparc, mac68k, pc532. In progress: pmax, sun3.
