But, based on the current available storage sizes. what is big enough for these? And, should they be the same? CDROMs are not getting bigger, but the size of disks just continue to increase. I don't know how close to being an issue a 1.4GB distfile is with modern systems. With multi-terabyte drives, 1.4G is not much space. --=20 R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer E-mail: kob6558@gmail.com
