- I recently purchased a RS/6000 340 with a 1.2 GB disk
- and debating how to maximize free disk space. I
- understand that one can access all the Info files with
- a CD-ROM and hence delete the copies of those files
- from the disk.
-
- What I would like to know is whether a CD-ROM is fast
- enough to provide a reasonably responsive way of using
- Info. Have people found this to be the case?
