Just imagine, you could leave off your HD:

Almost all of NeXTLibrary, that includes a lot of
documentations or 71.5 MB
All of NeXTDeveloper/Demos & Examples (w/ Examples
being SQUASHED) = 14.8 MB
NeXTAdmin = 1.12 MB
If you got precompiled headers (is this going to be
available?) /usr/include = 3.05 MB
/usr/template = 1.67 MB

Added up this equals a huge 92.14 MB or enough disk
space to give you space for a huge Ma Swap file!

No, really, much of the seldomly used stuff can be
placed there, (I hope that one is able to have
index files for the documentation, even if the
actual files reside on CD).

In all the performance of the CD reader will dictate
how much stuff one will be willing to leave on the
"slower" media. - Gosh! I don't think I need that
Gigabyte drive anymore. Time to shop for 120MB magneto
optical thingies.........................
