ok - so what are you complaining about? you have a 1.4G drive
or more...

It's probably a flash memory drive..

Anyway, I only do a package manager. I've never tried on
an embedded device..

I can't imagine anybody typing opening a command prompt on
a tiny screen and typing setup.py....

What is the go there with package installation..
