- No it isn't. Stacker does use data compression to reduce the actual
- disk space usage significantly. Stacker has an avarage compression
- of 1:2, due to the large amount of good compressible and small files
- a use of 21Mb or less is expectable for BC++ 3.1 on a stacked drive.
- Also notice one can save lots of HD space by not installing all of
- it.
