Re: Recommended licpgms

Hi Roberto,

Are you concerned about storage?  I understand the will to not install 
all the licensed programs, but if you don't have any storage concerns 
then I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Otherwise, it really depends on what the users need installed on the 
system.  For example, unless you are serving web pages, then you 
shouldn't need the HTTP server installed (as you have already noticed 
with th SS1 host servers requirement).

I had no reason to install System/36 and System/38 compatible 
compilers... but they are there, in case they are actually needed at 
some point.  I won't have to worry about bringing the system down to a 
restricted state if I do need to use any software thats not currently in 
use.

I hope my answer makes sense :)
