I just received my copy of co-Xist today. It is release 2.01. Full package require about 60mb space. It comes in 12 ED diskettes. And my graphics package works with co-Xist.

60MB!!! Where does it all go? The NextStep 2.0 release is only
64MB. That is, a NeXTStation with 105MB drive is
system... 64MB (includes applications, UNIX, and some documentation)
Swapfile.. 16MB
Free.. 25MB
---------------
Total 105MB
So where in the world does 60MB go to support X?
I too, support Pencom's effort to supply X for the NeXT, don't get me
wrong. I'm just wondering why X is so big. I knew it was big but
60MB is huge!dany@pensoft.uucp (Dany Guindi) (04/03/91)

Where does it all go? 60 MBs is a max. It depends on what you buy and install. How is that, well: the X server itself is only ~1/2 meg BUT X comes with a whole lot of clients, demos, libraries, fonts, man pages and that is where the other ~24.5 meg go. Motif: mwm is only ~3/4 meg BUT libraries, demos, uil, man pages and you get close to 21.4 meg again. And then documentation: we have put the X and Motif doc on the digital librarian. Whereas having it on your office would take at least one bookshelf, on the NeXT it takes only ~13meg and it is easily accessible. Note that you can buy any of the three packages described above separately! It will only take 60 megs if you buy, install and keep everything. The standard MIT X distribution warns people of the amount of disk space needed. We decided to provide you with the executables and let you decide what you wanted to shed instead of making the decision for you. If you like I can give you instruction as to how to get the minimum configuration so as to get co-Xist and only take less than 7 meg. If you have any other questions please feel free to send them my way! > >So where in the world does 60MB go to support X?
