Hy,
The framework is build as module library.
So if you don't use a part of the framework you don't need to copy it into
your production site.
As example:
If you don't need the documentation on your p-site delete it... 45MB gone.
If you don't need the incubator.... 3 MB gone.
If you don't need the test-bed... 18MB gone.
Same for demo, build-tools and scripts... 1MB gone.
So 29MB left... this is much smaller than the 120 MB you told us.
But I dont expect that you need ALL modules from the framework...
Even in the library ordner you can delete the modules which you dont need.
The biggest modules are:
The localization framework because of the CLDR: 12 MB. The content are XML
files and XML files use space ;-)
PDF class: 1,6 MB
Search_Lucene: 1 MB
GData: 780 MB.
One simple way to get all shrinked, if you think this is needed, is to
secure your code with Zend_Gard or IONCube for example.
Or you can delete all API-Doc blocks per hand... but this is much work ;-)
Anyway...
I use much classes and my used framework has not more than 3 MB after I
"garded" it.
As the framework is NO PEAR LIBRARY we will not make it "partitially"
downloadable.
But you can erase the unneeded parts as described before.

Subject: [fw-general] ZF is ubeatable BUT...
Zend Framework will certainly bring about a major paradigm shift in the
PHP
spectrum and I am very impressed by the quality of code it offers BUT the
only thing that has been discouraging me from adopting this remarkable
framework is that it wants to become yet another pear library. I want all
my
code, including the framework to be an integral part of my application. In
effect, I make sure to the extent possible that the only dependency to my
application will be PHP itself. This is where the size of ZendFramework
comes into play. Let's say that I am developing an e-commerce product
which
I want to sell and I want it to work out of the box on any standard PHP5
hosting. In this case, I cannot afford to have 120MB of framework code
where
as my actual application code is hardly 2MB. The zend-framework must
provide
an option for the users to pick and use one or some of its features
independently so that I can get away with picking only the MVC, DB and
AUTH
parts and greatly reduce the code overhead.
Correct me if I am wrong.
