The Extended release takes approx. 170 megs.  You'd be better off probably
to buy a 200 meg system and the external drive.  That's what I wish I could
have done.  Instead I'm eventually going to purchase an external 200 meg
drive to supplement the internal 105 that I have.  Of course I'll put the
extended release on the external drive and boot from it.
