Well, Steven, I have probably become too much used to the fact that
in Linux everything is configurable. And as a matter of fact I have
almost given up to use Netscape 3.04, instead I reboot a different
machine for Firebird/Phoenix. And as the Javascript disease is
spreading continuously, this has become the main reason for me why to
use Linux.

What I certainly would not like is that BL occupies a large part of
my hard disk, while I do not know, if I will need it. But I would also
like to run the Firbird browser under BL3 -

1. Is there a way to define size during installation?

2. Is there a way to unpack Firbird (10 MB download) with glibc
into the BL3 file system?

Regards
Christof
