This is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard.  NO UNIX system
requires 120mb of disk, and especially AIX, since it's broken into dozens
of LPPs which may or may not be installed, depending on the user's available
space and requirements.  So don't load the Cobol compiler if you have it and
don't need it.  But don't blame IBM if you can't put everything they sell
on a smallish disk.
