From 3c932910e6a36bd70a16f70436f08945fbc833f3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jon TURNEY Date: Thu, 21 May 2015 17:34:41 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Remove mention of installing everything An estimate of the size of installing of "hundreds of megabytes" is wildly out of date. Just remove mention of installing everything, since it is nearly always not a good idea. 2015-06-01 Jon Turney * ov-ex-unix.xml: Remove unhelpful mention of and inaccurate size estimate for installing everything. * ov-ex-win.xml: Ditto.
