Is the 300M /usr something you manually specified, or something that the automatic disk layout specified? If the former, then you have taken responsibility and there isn't much we can do. Putting in sufficient AI to figure out how many of the sets you select would fit in the space you provide would be a daunting task. And one whose implementation would be a challenge to fit on a floppy, as our installer must. If however it is something that the automatic layout created we can look at adjusting those sizes if necessary. .... Ken
