FYI, I have installed GNAT on my portable (486/25, 4Megs, 84Megs Hard disk
with doublespace). It could be insufficient to compile large programs, but
it definitely allows me to practice 9X while on the plane :-)
Especially regarding disk space: I didn't install the whole of DJGPP, but
with the minimum required to run GNAT, I have enough space left for other
programs (Turbo Pascal, AmiPro and Freelance Graphics f.e., if you don't
install all the useless features that come with them ;-) ).
