Arnold, I don't have much money. 1. A hard disk isn't expensive. 2. For

e.g. 64 Studio 3.0-beta3 amd64 libjack0.100.0-dev does need 61.4 kb and

not gigs. I'm just talking about JACK. 3. Who does use Linux audio and

doesn't need libjack-dev? 4. Who does produce music on a 20GB hard disk?

C'mon ;)!
IMHO it would be good once and for all to clear all issues because of

packages for JACK and IMHO the best way seems to be to have everything

that is JACK in one package.
