The issue is that the installer doesn't not grab the files it needs online; the package has them all included by default and then the installer installs the correct ones based upon the user's choices. If we want to go with your idea above ( a lite install that contains only the built-in extensions and web server support ) we could probably get it down to under 6mb. And I believe it should also be possible to "upgrade" this to the full version as well. -- Later, John Mertic "Explaining a joke is like dissecting a frog: you jmertic@gmail.com understand it better, but the frog dies in the process." -Mark Twain
