- ramdiskbin with CHECK_ENTROPY requires extra 7000 bytes, at least on m68k, so poor tier-II ports that have size restrictions on install media or use slow floppies rather prefer smaller binaries - CHECK_ENTROPY has been added after netbsd-9 was branched so I guess ordinary release users won't notice differences - actually sysinst(8) itself has been broken on several these ports hp300 (PR/55197), luna68k (PR/55058), and x68k (PR/55384 etc.) since netbsd-9, so it would be much more important to bring them installable state for better user experience - src/distrib/atari/floppies/common/Makefile.images already has NO_PROGRESS due to 1440KB restriction, and users (including me) will rather prefer to restore progress bar on ftp for better experience - if you would like to discuss about pros and cons without numbers, maybe it would be worth to try installation on various emulators and describe actual experiences --- Izumi Tsutsui
