See the following bug: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1076582 One of the issues was that after an upgrade of the firmware packages (firmware-nvidia-graphics in particular), the initrd.img-* files could be more than 200 MB. This has improved (bug fixed), but the Nvidia firmware still takes a lot of space, even though a little of it would be sufficient. -- Vincent Lefèvre <[email protected]> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Pascaline project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
