I'm hoping it is under 100MB so I can just mount up a zip drive : (I'll have to pull it off my other PC) and build on that.. /usr/obj is 86M long for me, I don't know if that has a full build or not. Your ZIP drive will be **SLOW** and you will get frustrated by long make world times :-(. : Also, how much disk space overhead will pulling in the latest branch : incur? A full source tree runs about 138M or so. : Gee, having no income (i.e. being a Univ. student) really sucks.... just 1 : more gig is all I ask!! :-) I'm very happy with my JAZ drive, but it is a little on the slow side. About 70% as fast as my Quantum Prodrive 1225, near as I can tell. When I got mine, the ZIP drives were $199 and the JAZ drives had just dropped to $399 internal so I figured 10x the storage for 2x the price was hard to say no to. Warner
