Having carefully looked over nano-tiny ('apt-get install nano-tiny' for the
curious) I propose we immediately throw ae out of the boot-floppies and use
nano-tiny instead. It is already linked vs slang so there are no library
problems. It _is slightly_ bigger. On x86 it adds 16k. That is a pric

You need to read up on how debconf works. The "persistance" you are
advocating == an infinite loop. GET commands always return the same
vale, which was already input earlier.

I dunno. This request should take the form of a wishlist against the

Is there any remaining bug here for boot-floppies?

Upx is an executable file compressor. The interesting thing in relation
to the b-f or d-i is that it can compress bzimage linux kernels. The
kernel is still bootable, and a coworker shaved 100k off the size of an
existing bzimage (even though it was already compressed).
