Booth:

You leave out one critical piece of data.  What release are you running???

There's a chart at the end of the Loading Licensed Programs (or whatever
the hell the name of that book is) that shows the comparative sizes for
different software.

In general, we didn't find V3R2 that much greater than V3R1.  But if you're
putting it over something before V3R1, you're already hosed.  In general
V3R1/V3R2 take about 700 MB more than V2R3/V3R0M5.
