It is not recommended, though.) Thanks, that cleaned 330 Mbyte. I think it's pretty bad to take up so much storage. My laptop disk is 95% full Still, the 32 bit compiler takes up 750 Mbyte. We should really have instructions to make that as small as possible. People who just want to build Vim and nothing else should not need that much space on disk. -- Send $25.00 for handy leaflet on how to make money by selling leaflets /// Bram Moolenaar -- b...@moolenaar.net -- http://www.Moolenaar.net \\\ /// sponsor Vim, vote for features -- http://www.Vim.org/sponsor/ \\\ \\\ an exciting new programming language -- http://www.Zimbu.org /// \\\ help me help AIDS victims -- http://ICCF-Holland.org /// -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
