Yeah i thought so too, so i read the docs ( back with SO 4 and i came across the /net option) And now with SO5 as root run "setup /net" and select a dir ( ie /usr/local/SO ) then when install is finished "LOGON AS THE USER " and goto to "/usr/local/SO/bin" dir and run "setup" in that dir, this will setup SO for in the users home dir using only "3.8MB " (on my system anyway.) Cheers
