It doesn't literally fill up to the last bit, but i believe at least 400 MB are used. The CVS tree itself is around 200 MB these days. It grew heavily with the import of gcc 2.7.2 and some other stuff in src/contrib recently, causing me to buy a larger disk for my /home filesystem... But of course, it's the same for me as for Guido: disk space and CPU cycles are much cheaper than Internet bandwidth. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
