<the /usr subtree. The remaining files under "/" take up around 10-12Megs, <then you'll also need separate swap files which adds another X Megs per <machine. You can probably get by with more of the setup being shared, but Has anyone considered the hack that is done under VMS for small disk impared systems? IE: net or local boot, local swap everything else from the net host. Then the seap drive can be a small 20-40mb drive and the swapping is faster if local even with PIO. that would yeild a fairly fast system that wouldn't beat teh disks to death on the host. Allison
