One interesting thing I did was simply remove The dictionary,
quotations, and literature directories entirely, replacing them with
softlinks to the CDRom. Works great, though of course you must have
the CDRom in if you want to access them.
I'm somewhat disappointed that the NeXT CDRom drive doesn't spin-down
an idle drive, though, it makes for totally unecessary wear.
