This is a patch for debian-cd, which currently invokes palo with a hardcoded value of 16384K. We currently need about 21M. The patch calculates the correct value at ISO build time. Could someone with access submit this to svn for me please? I have built and booted an ISO with this patch. Thanks Richard
