I agree on the small partitions on netbooks, but the fact that the optionalpackages often install man pages, headers files, etc, is just a choice of the haiku-ports project to include that all. Any of the linux distro's actually split that into the main package containing the runtime files, and a -dev package including the headers and static libs, which saves quite a bit of space already....I know the "disk space is cheap" argument always seems to come up - but I really don't want to waste a GB of space just to have a ton of 3rd party shared libs and their includes, man pages, static libs, and documentation floating around that I'll never use. It's not uncommon for me to dedicate a 4-8gb partition at most to Haiku... especially on my netbook.
HTH, Ithamar.
