We give a brief discussion of the fine tuning problem in pre-big bang cosmology. We use the flatness problem as our test case, and in addition to the exact numerical limits on initial conditions, we highlight the differences between pre-big bang and standard inflation. The main difference is that in pre-big bang the universe must be smooth and flat in an exponentially large domain already at the beginning of the dilaton-driven inflation.5 pages, Latex with sprocl.sty, based on talks given at PASCOS-98 and CAPP-98High Energy Physics - TheoryAstrophysicsGeneral Relativity and Quantum CosmologyHigh Energy Physics - PhenomenologyInitial Conditions in Pre-Big Bangtext
