4 Mb uncompressed. : -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4392155 2006-09-29 16:31 vmlinux-2.6.18-1-powerpc but then we also have : -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3091496 2006-09-13 18:03 vmlinux-2.6.17-2-powerpc-miboot Which once compressed fits on a miboot floppy. > my laptop is only 2Mb compressed. Same here, I think the problem is the ramdisk, which is indeed 5mb compressed, but only because initramfs-tools insists in putting world+dog on the ramdisk. Using modules=dep or yaird will solve this and create a smaller ramdisk. Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
