Yeah i thought so too, so i read the docs ( back with SO 4 and i came across the /net
option)
And now with SO5
as root run "setup /net" and select a dir ( ie /usr/local/SO )
then when install is finished
"LOGON AS THE USER " and goto to "/usr/local/SO/bin" dir and run "setup" in that
dir, this will setup SO for in the users home dir using only "3.8MB " (on my system
anyway.)
Cheers
