Yes, you can install in 5MB now and I suppose we could even mention this in passing someplace, but by making 8MB the recommendation we accomplish two things: 1. We leave ourselves a decent margin for growth. Continually "raising the bar" simply looks bad. 2. We're recommending a size that's actually usable, rather than something you can just barely squeak by with. Jordan
