R help - Feb 2005 - Is anyone using the MiniR distribution?

I currently build two different versions of each Windows binary:  the
rwXXXX.exe full installation program (with the next release looking to
be around 25 Megabytes), and a series of 8 diskette-sized files named
miniR*.

The miniR files only include a minimal installation of R, and are
rarely tested.  Rather than building something that may not even work,
I'd like to stop building them.  

Would this be a problem for anyone?

People for which this is a problem will probably not be
subscribed to R-help because they'll be living in places /
situations with bad / expensive internet connection.

(Sorry to be not really constructive here).
