->Standard installation of Windows 98se requires max 350MB. I always thought
->it was a lot but now it doesn't seem to be all that much. 
->
->
->180MB-400MB which is still way too much. My first 'encounter' with Linux
->was approx 10 year ago. All you needed then was one floppy disk. (10
->only few months later) 

I would look at a Windows98, MSOffice, Internet related software and the
other programs that make one productive on a computer and if you can
possiblely tell me that 400M's is too much. I just don't know what to
say ..other then it's unrealistic.

If you think Linux should have stayed 1 floppy disk can I have back the
days when Windows 3.11 for Workgroups was 6 floppies :)

Times change..OS's are getting bigger..doing more. It's not 1992
anymore. :)


Cheers and don't worry so much...hd's are very cheap and so is memory.
Just enjoy what computers can do..

Regards
