- Well, I just built a 3.2.3 later release system from scratch (ie, all of the
- updates) and /usr/lpp/info contains about 6Mb. The largest subdirectory
- is En_US which is 2.88Mb. In fact:
-
- # cd info
- # ls
- En_US X11fonts bin data notes
- # du -ks *
- 2888 En_US
- 964 X11fonts
- 2208 bin
- 0 data
- 4 notes
