This discussion seems to be wandering off on an interesting tangent, but
the part of the original question that interested me most was the notion
that you can leave all or part of the operating system on the CD-ROM and
thus save lots of disk space, so that buying the CD-ROM effectively wins
you some free disk space.  If this is true it might actually be worthwhile
for me to buy the thing.

It seems obvious to me that you don't want to leave everything on the
CD-ROM.  That's just too slow, plus you could never access anything on any
other ROM disk because once you take the operating system out of the drive
you are mostly dead in the water.  But certainly the complete works of
Shakespeare could stay there, as could most of the more rarely used commands.
My question is, how much else could?

Thus my question is, if I cough up the money for a CD-ROM, how much disk
space will I be able to free up on my hard-disk by leaving rarely used stuff
off?
