Exactly. Here's the list of files PCA expects to find in the explorer 
directory you point it at with "--fromfiles":

       $o{fromfiles}/patch+pkg/pkginfo-l.out
       $o{fromfiles}/patch+pkg/showrev-p.out
       $o{fromfiles}/sysconfig/uname-a.out

Everything else can be removed. This should keep required space minimal.

hth,
Martin.
