A Technical History of Apple's Operating Systems

If you load the whole thing? 300MB. Plus whatever overhead the OS imposes (eg, page table entries to map the space). Assuming it's not sparse? 300MB. Plus whatever overhead the filesystem imposes (eg, inode and indirect blocks). Time to send it over a 100Mbit line? 25.165824 seconds, plus comm overhead - probably more like 30 seconds. (This is where metric measurement for line speeds versus binary measurement for aggregate data storage needs care. Perhaps fortunately, you rarely get raw data rate out of real protocols; my rule of thumb is to expect 1MB/sec out of a nominally 10Mbit/sec line.) /~\ The ASCII der Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouse at rodents.montreal.qc.ca / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
