Re: CVS commit: basesrc/distrib/macppc/floppies/ramdisk



Ahh, one more reason to go to multiple-disks: you have to do it
eventually, and when you do, you will be really mad at yourself
for living without those utilities for no reason during the
interim, and you will have to go to work to put them back.

There is no real advantage to keeping the install on one disk.
The second disk reads really fast because it's small. (If you
had any chance of fitting via utility removal, disk 2 will be
tiny. If it's big, you had no choice anyway.)

And like Perry, I've also used ed(1) many times on installs. But
the real point isn't ed(1), it's that the fact that you have
overflowed means that a multiple-disk install -- which has no
disadvantages anyway -- is inevitable.
