Where do you get the 6 GB?
I simply right clicked on the folder that contains adobe reader 9 and
nothing else, the rest of the Adobe products are in a folder one level
up that also contains the reader folder, in any case when I click
properties, that is the size it lists, in fact to be more exact 6.2
gigabytes. I did the same with the folder containing LibreOffice, and
it listed the size of that as 475 megabytes. So I am pretty much forced
to believe it. Perhaps Adobe is going in the right direction again in
the transition from reader 9 to reader 10, and dumping some unnecessary
crap.

What I
meant by HUGE when I referred to Adobe Reader was the more than 6 Gigs
of hard drive space it takes up! By contrast all of the LibreOffice
suite of programs takes up 475 Megs of space. That means that a mere
reader takes up more than a dozen times the space of an entire office
suite. If that isn't mega-bloat I don't know what is. It has been a
long time, but I seem to remember Adobe Reader only taking 12 Megs of
space at one time. It used to come included on almost all driver disks,
now it is just too big for that.
