Subject: [FTST] Unable to install

I just wanted to mention that I have been unable to install FTST
because of the ridiculous requirement for 100Mb of free space on the
C: drive. I'm running on a laptop and don't have that space available
on my C: drive. I could make it available someplace else such as on my
g: drive, but it doesn't give me that option.

Mainly I'm mentioning this because I am hoping that TMG 5 will not
have the same stupid requirement. Being so inflexible on where it
looks for free space is something out of the dark ages of
computing--like back in the DOS days. It really makes me apprehensive
about the forthcoming TMG 5.

Judging by the requirements for FTST, is TMG 5 going to be just
another overbloated Windows program? For now I am foregoing the
"pleasure" (?) of installing the copy of FTST that I downloaded (which
BTW the downloading also caused me a lot of trouble). I don't know how
much space it would take after the install but the installation
requirements have me really worried about it and TMG 5. For now I can
skip FTST because I don't need it that badly. If TMG 5 is even more
bloated I may decide to skip it also.

For now the FTST download file is just sitting there uselessly taking
up valuable space. This is not a good omen.
