Yes but latest debian release from 2007 30MB now in 2015 250MB I am assuming that size still can rise in future. Also I believe that usually user using just couple of favorite drumkits and not need all of of them maybe. So I am thinking to safe user disk space too. mira _______________________________________________ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
