I want to install ssh on an old laptop that has a small hard drive. My problem is that I think the ssh server is huge, so I just want to install ssh client. I don't just want to disable the server, but i don't want it to install ssh server, to save space. I tried googling, but nothing relavant came up. Is that because you need ssh server for ssh client? Kind of like you need x-server for x-window? --- Lawrence Lee llee32@ccsf.edu http://hills.ccsf.edu/~llee32/index.html
