Even though I currently only have 80 megs (about the minimum one can currently buy), I've about decided you are right. Having just installed a 3 CD game last night, I realize that my stinginess with disk space for more serious stuff is obsolete. (My first hard disk was 5 or 10 megs.) A gigabyte would cover Python + Wxpython + numarray + scipy + pygame + a lot of other stuff. Would it be possible, at least for Windows, to write a Python script implementing a 'virtual distribution'? IE, download Python, install it, download next package, install it, etc. -- prefereably table driven? Terry J. Reedy -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
