Does anyone have a suggested set of files that we should download

For example, are the 2000 files necessary?
My guess is that we need the following at a minimum:
- All Lines (*edges*) - this appears to be the primary file for roads
- Area Hydrography (*areawater*) - this appears to be lakes and rivers
But I'm not sure about these things.
- Area Landmark (*arealm*)
- Point Landmark (*pointlm*)
- Current Block (*tabblock*)
- Current County Subdivision (*consub*)
- Feature Names Relationship File (*featnames*)
I suggest you download the entire county of your choice, assuming
your internet bandwidth won't choke. Then, unzip one or more
features. Bring up xastir to see what is important to you and what
you might be missing. Better yet, unzip all six, then do a Map
Choose to select each type, adding in more features. I have not done
that yet, but it might prove enlightening.
