Ouch. The initramfs images that I have built are actually 9 megs (28 megs uncompressed). But that's because I include all kernel modules and all firmware on the host, which pulls in both nvidia.ko (at 16 megs) and libc (it doesn't use klibc because I want it to share as much as possible with the host; shared code pages in memory exist for a reason -- but that's 8 megs) and the firmware for this TV tuner card (at about a meg). The nvidia module and tuner card firmware are not actually required, except as a test that the full udev module and firmware loading setup is working. > My overall impression is that BLFS is the right place for this with > links to the appropriate packages that need to be built.
