Think boot-on-a flash/rom for things like pvr boxes where hd space is reserved to the data, router/nat boxes, multi-boot setups where your 80 Gig is split in multiple small chunks, etc, etc The simple fact is general generic base (for RHEL and lots of other things) means FC must scale to low-storage-space setups too. (plus multiple interdependencies make it very hard to remove legacy libs once they've been linked almost everywhere just because one could do it at a time) Regards, -- Nicolas Mailhot
