Well, breaking things up would be silly. But let's actually look at this as a real space problem. I had a concern about a flash drive having a hardware problem, so I installed the same snapshot onto an old 1GB flash (I have smaller ones too). Tight fit. What is desktop use? OpenBSD already comes with an X window manager. Maybe only listening to music, playing DVD's and CD's and watching videos directly from a URL. No web browser, no editors besides vi. Looking at pictures directly from a URL. Couldn't ask for a better porn desktop on a tiny flash. Ditching a few unnecessary files might just make all the difference. Everybody keeps talking about how new hardware has so much space, just buy this or buy that. How about telling that to the genius 9 year old who has no allowance but there is some old crappy hardware sitting around. Isn't OpenBSD still following the goal of working on older hardware and other restraints? Chris Bennett
