Okay, so I have some good news and some bad news. I split the icons 96x96 and larger from SUNWgnome-themes into SUNWgnome-themes-hires. That saved 6452k (uncompressed). This is the good news. The bad news is that in GNOME 2.23.x SUNWgnome-themes is larger than what's in Dave's cd space analysis so the new compressed SUNWgnome-themes is 20890914 (compared to 19893669 in Dave's doc). After optimizing it with pngcrush, the compressed size is still 19312549, so that's 570k saved but not the megs we were hoping to get. Also, I won't be able to optimize the package until pngcrush is pushed through the process (ARC, legal, etc...) Laca
