I'm sure that's the case- I have plenty of memory too. My motive for asking  had
more to do with the fact that I'm just trying to get the basic setup working at
all. I just thought it might be good to understand what what the different files
were for. Now I understand that v2gnu/lgpp295b.zip  library files are depreciated,
and having used HTML and CSS I understand what that means.  They might come in
handy in some situations but for basic functionality they are not neccesary.
