I think you're right. Comparing my experience with ta complete
install with another's experience with a runtime-then-selectively-install

if you're going to do a complete install then delete what you don't use.
The main problems I had were in trying to rebuild the kernel. I finally
grabbed the real pl13 soruces from sunsite.
