Ok, time to sound off on this freeing up of disk space issue. Here's a true story. When I first got this machine, it only had a 1.28 gig drive on it. I had it most of the way full of these exotic programs I liked, but I had plenty of space to continue installing almost anything I wanted. Granted, now, this was with RH 6.2, and it would have never worked on that drive with what I'm using now, but I learned about those libraries the hard way. One day, I found a bunch of x-windows stuff and gnome stuff on there. Well, nuke, I thought, just let's dump all this graphical crap and free up a bunch more space. Well, I freed it up, then I turned this thing off. I think there was a storm coming, or, just because I turn my equipment off when I am not using it. What do you think happened when I turned it back on? Nuke was the word. I had totally busted my system. It would not boot, and I had no hardware speech, no speakup, no nothing to get me back up. I couldn't use the computer again for several days until a sighted friend could come out here and totally re-install the os. Now, go ahead and remove all those libraries, just don't say I didn't warn you, and that the other person didn't warn you. When you have to have a sighted friend come out there and re-install, or if you have to wait for several days to get or borrow a hardware synthesizer, see if it was worth it to find a few meg somewhere. Hope this helps. -- Doug Smith: C.S.F.C. Computer Scientist For CHRIST
