Ok, I see now...BUT just for the heck of it, why not use it on CD?  The read/
write CDs are out now and have plenty of room.  Are they just too slow?  How
about putting the AUX stuff that isn't used often on a CD (as was suggested in
a mail message sent directly to me) like the man pages, games, least used
tools?

By the way, thanks to those that responded directly.
