I had posted on the gotdotnet site the question if anyone knew if MS (or =
someone else) was going to produce a smaller framework? I have a =
software project that will be distributed on a CD and shipped all over =
the world. A majority of the users will be military personnel using =
laptops. The framework expands to a hefty 150 MB. Wouldn't it be =
awesome if the redistributable would only install the namespaces that =
are actually used in the application? Then as the user might add other =
.NET based programs, have it check to see which namespaces those too may =
require and install them on demand.
I something like that happening already?
Thanks
