It only has a 6 gig drive. I guess my concern is to keep the install small both required memory and disk space. Yet, i would like to use the 'newest' version in hopes that it will have the latest kde and xfree stuff. This may be a mistake though. if the choice is between 4.6.2 and 4.7 which would be a better install if the criterion were 1) keep the install small (hard disk space) 2) keep the working set small in ram 3) make sure the important ports will work -- kde, openoffice, -- a good gui browser (any recommendations) and zope tia. -- David Bear College of Public Programs/ASU Mail Code 0803 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
