d-i boot image too large
I attempted to build a debian-installer net installation floppy image by
grabbing the source from CVS and running:
fakeroot make
sudo make floppy_image
however the attempt ends with:
if cp -f ./tmp/net/vmlinuz
/home/martin/src/debian-installer/debian-installer/build/mnt/linux \
&& cp dest/net-initrd.gz
/home/martin/src/debian-installer/debian-installer/build/mnt/initrd.gz \
&& cp syslinux.cfg
/home/martin/src/debian-installer/debian-installer/build/mnt/ \
&& todos
/home/martin/src/debian-installer/debian-installer/build/mnt/syslinux.cfg ; \
then \
umount /home/martin/src/debian-installer/debian-installer/build/mnt ; \
true ; \
else \
umount /home/martin/src/debian-installer/debian-installer/build/mnt ; \
false ; \
fi
cp: writing
`/home/martin/src/debian-installer/debian-installer/build/mnt/initrd.gz': No
space left on device
The initrd.gz file is 819505 bytes and the vmlinuz 682315 (sum 1501820), and
the contents of diskusage-net.txt is:
