mmm, yea...(too many things to think of) true...thought of this too when i was
installing on my old computer which doesn't have cd-r. new hdd's offer allot
of space (this would be an issue on real old hdd's tho...< 1-2 gb). there's
probabely more important issues at stake besides something like this...this i
see more of a "luxury" and can be worked around by either uninstalling or doing
a custom install. one reason why i haven't griped much about it myself.
(which acts as a ftp/http...very well i might add to because of mdk!)
