- I have a 42.9 meg st250R and I would love to be able to install completely
- even though I wouldn't have any space, just to mess around <so to speak> until
- I can get my hands on a bigger HD. <there's a huge austion here tomorrow :) >
- So what my question is, is since the whole bindist takes 49 megs WITH the
- bin01 files, is there a way to either delete them as I go along, or something
- else one of you super-duper UNIX type wizrd guys can come up with? I am fairly
- new to Unix and BSD but am a quick learner, and I just want to experiment till
- I can get my hands on a REAL HD. By the way, it DOES install enough to give me
- a login: prompt but MANY things are still missing, but it does seem as if, were
- I to be rid of the bin01 files at an early place in the process I could finish
- up with a few megs to spare. What do ya think?

- p.s. feel free to mail me ANY ideas, cept for GET A NEW HARD-DRIVE! which I am
- going to fairly soon anyway, so send those to /dev/null. I'm just excited to
- play, and any hacker worth his salt knows that feeling.
