I think the one that ships with redhat is close to 200MB for the full install. |Come on guys - give KDE a break. ;-) Its not all that bad, you know.

Mozilla takes 18-20 seconds. 0.9.8 takes 13 seconds to load *and* quit on my p3-733 w/256MB which is pretty decent IMO (but how much time does konqueror take to load if KDE isn't running ??)... but once it's loaded mozilla is pretty fast ...
