7 MB free space is correct. That fs.img contains a lot of stuff that
would not fit into 20 MB, including mc, mplayer, sylpheed and so on.
With a soundblaster card, sndsetup will give sound. mplayer will play
many mpg and avi videos (from cl and in X) and MP3 files.

As it says on my website:
"An expanded version of the files system image for the loop installation
of BL3.
It has a number of applications already installed, including Midnight
Commander (mc), Sylpheed (and manual), Abiword, Links2
(graphical)., "

It was more intended to show what is possible with a small loop setup,
than to be a "purist" working distro file system.

Ron
