I starting to get serious about doing some development on my Amiga. I've had
it for almost a year and my two year old had used it more than I have. I
must admit that I have been amazed by how much fun a young child can have
just dragging the kermit icon around the screen.

My question is this; How much of the stuff on the workbench disk can be
junked? I want to build a workbench disk that has emacs, a compiler (TDI
Modula-2), and the TDI and Amiga libraries needed to compile and link a
program. The idea, obviously, is to have the tools in one drive and the
sources for my current project in the other on my two drive system.

I know I can junk the device drivers for printers I don't have. But what
about fonts? Can I dump all the fonts? Or, must I keep at least one. What
about the system commands? Most of the system commands look like they can be
dumped, I can always load a different disk if I need something other than
cd, dir, or delete, right? How wrong am I and what have I missed?

		Happy Hacking

hacking code, hacking code.
sometimes happy, sometimes bored, 
almost lost in a pile of spode.
tell the people "I'm only hacking code."
