Re: [Simulchaord-discuss] Swarm size

The 50+ MB Swarm download is now done -- luckily without needing to
resume it with a utility program.

Why is the Swarm download so big?

In addition to Swarm, near as I can tell from watching the install
process, Swarm also loaded:

GCC
Kaffe (Java VM)
TK/TCL, and
Perl 

plus a lot of command line GNU tools.

Unpacks to 162 MB.

Well, it looks like this will take some time to figure out...

Too bad they didn't put Python in the kitchen sink too. :-)
