This is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard. NO UNIX system requires 120mb of disk, and especially AIX, since it's broken into dozens of LPPs which may or may not be installed, depending on the user's available space and requirements. So don't load the Cobol compiler if you have it and don't need it. But don't blame IBM if you can't put everything they sell on a smallish disk. -- Steve Dyer dyer@ursa-major.spdcc.com aka {ima,harvard,rayssd,linus,m2c}!spdcc!dyer dyer@arktouros.mit.edu, dyer@hstbme.mit.edu
