I hope you're not referring to Borland C++. I'm not sure about Visual C++, but
when Borland says that you need 125Megs, they mean on your hard disk. Many of
those files are the compiler, linker, loader, libraries, include files, ...
Borland takes a long time to compile with *all* the files on the hard drive,
let alone if you're trying to run off a CD-ROM drive.
If I remember correctly, the minimum installation (BC++ 4.52) requires 35 Megs.
BTW, Borland C++ has an outstanding development environment. It also is the
only PC compiler which is using the Engineering Design Solutions (EDS) compiler
front-end. EDS is the only front end available which properly handles C++
templates.
