Of course, this doesn't address the RAM/CPU issue, but it does help substantially with the disk space issue. My little 486 laptop does yeoman duty as a DSL firewall/router, and it doesn't need docs or man pages to do that. It does have barely enough RAM, but recent versions of Anaconda don't run on many 486's. My last upgrade was to install RH7.3 with the RULE installer (which worked great). -- Matthew Saltzman Clemson University Math Sciences mjs AT clemson DOT edu http://www.math.clemson.edu/~mjs
