Steve -

You're joking right?????

Nope. I saw it on a Walmart web page. Who would have even guessed that they had a web page?

How big is a proper install of it now.. last I checked it was quiet large..

Depends on what you mean by proper. A full 6.3 on O2 takes up about 1G. You should realize that includes all kinds of stuff that I personally don't think is necessary. It includes the VRML setup stuff for O2, the man pages in both nroff and html, 2 webservers, and on and on. It also depends on what other types of optional stuff you're installing. Do you want the on-line books? X development headers, libraries, demos, man pages, etc.

Of course, it also includes all the media manipulation tools, plus (depending on what package you get) photoshop, framemaker, video s/w, etc. Hope you like it.
