re: How much more room does V3R2 take?

[Neil Palmer <neil@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Al - 700MB is a bit of an exaggeration (unless you also loaded all the
online manuals to disk).  We loaded V3R1 over V2R3 on a 945MB B10 and from
the jump in disk utilization I would say it took an extra 150MB at most.
When we took the same machine from V3R1 to V3R2 the disk usage increase was
minimal (maybe 35MB - and I believe most of that pccored with the application
of the C7126320 PTF cume package).
