Not on LyX. That's to be shared with a full SuSE 10.0 installation. > when the cheapest disks out there is 200G then I am not so sure. I have not closely followed the latest achievements of the Norwegian harddisk manufacturers but hereabout 200G laptop harddisks are not 'the cheapest thing' to have. > (And I use a laptop and know that this is not the case there) Because the laptop has a 40G hard disk, 8G or so 'system backup area', a ~18G Windows partion which is not obsolete for a few reasons. Minus swap this leave ~11G for the SuSE partition. > _But_ there are ways to work that make you not use that much local > disk... but it will mean more network traffic and perhaps a more > cumbersome work practise. The funny thing is I am fairly happy about the general performance of my current computer equipment. It works just fine - apart for LyX development. Andre'
