yeah, so everyone would have to waste disk space to install Net$crape
just to be able to use the java program. A cool idea :-)
I really don't see any problem in downloading the 6 and more megs
kernel. If you go to the nearest shop, you'll have hard time to
convince the dealer that you need a HD smaller than 1.2 Gb, and even
if you can find it, it will likely cost the same as a 2.0 Gb one.
I presume that when the kernel was 3 Mb, also the HDs where half in size
and then there was someone complaining that he didn't have space.
You can always delete the windog partition from your HD and mount the
free space in /usr/src :-)
One last comment. Linux is great because you have lots of drivers
available. Just download the latest kernel and compile what you
need. Ever tried to find the latest driver for an AWE 32 under OS/2
warp ? Or the S3 driver ? Or the ext2-ifs driver ? or.....
Each one can be found on a different server. God knows which one :-(
