All the docs are individually compressed to save space (well, to make them fit at all) and uncompressed as needed. Since the various menus also have F1 help screens, merely visiting a menu can cause a doc file to be uncompressed. Sounds like we're really up against the wall on the mfsroot image again for the alpha. I don't think it's going to get fixed for 4.4-RELEASE, but we should definitely revisit this issue post-release. - Jordan From: Wilko Bulte <wkb@freebie.xs4all.nl> Subject: Re: 4.4RC4: out of space on / during install Date: Mon, 10 Sep 2001 20:39:32 +0200 > On Mon, Sep 10, 2001 at 09:46:21AM -0700, Jordan Hubbard wrote: > > Urm indeed. > > It already happens upon sysinstall displaying it's initial menu screen. > > Are the screens compressed maybe?
