Software pollution: the hidden drive to hardware pollution

I needed to install a DVD burner on my eeePC. Nero 7 Essentials (E-s-s-e-n-t-i-a-l-s!) was included with the external DVD burner I bought. Nero 7 Essentials installation required 1.2 Gb (GIGA!). I’ve chosen then custom installation: the minimal size I could reach was around 260 Mb. 0.3 Gb on a SDD of 4Gb are a lot for a DVD burning software.

I’ve googled “DVD burner freeware” and I found Burn4free: 15 Mb required to be installed!! And the best thing: it works perfectly (DVD burned at 16x without problems). Avoid software pollution. When you need any program, look for freeware small versions out there: I am sure you’ll find what you need.

By doing this, you’ll hardly need to expand our 500 Gb hard disk and you’ll lower hardware pollution.
