I haven't been following the conversation but, a couple things about the base package: 1) Releases != cvs snapshots It gets groomed. 2) While a smaller download is always better, the better FGFS gets, the more slack people will cut us when it comes to the download. The current gzipped cvs snapshot tarball is less than 40mb. How does this compare with other sims -demo- downloads? The base package also includes a manual in PDF and HTML formats, so add that in to the calculations. _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
