Or will I in reality need something like a 170MB? Presumably this is the January "1994" Walnut Creek CD-ROM. 60MB is a bit tight, but workable. If you want to have plenty of legroom I'd recommend you install it in a 100 MB partition, as I ended up doing on one system. You certainly don't need 170 MB unless you want to start installing all the source code. cjs -- Curt Sampson a09878@giant.rsoft.bc.ca Opinions are mine, Fluor Daniel Wright, Ltd. 604 488 2226 not Fluor Daniel's. 1075 W.
