Re: web browsers are hugely complex systems
Let's not exaggerate. A web browser install file is a hundred and some megabytes, an OS install is a DVD or three
Now it's you who's exaggerating. An OS install that just needs to boot up into a GUI, run a browser and some other bits and bobs like drivers for the payment gear, and trimmed to the specific hardware it's going to run on should easily fit on a single CD.
