Again, with tweaking, you can get /usr/X386 down to <4MB -- just don't
dump everything from SLS without thinking, or at least, delete most
of it after you've dumped it. For example, if disk space is tight,
you can eliminate the link kit, the 75dpi, 100dpi, speedo and type1
font packages, and many of the binaries.
