I don't really know since I'm not going to build them myself. I
believe that the Debian installer starts with a single ramdisk
rootfs. It loads compoenents from the network and installs the same
way.
The initrd's for the current Debian release are about 3.5MiB. The
Debian installer images for the NSLU2 are about 5 MiB, IIRC.

Good tip. I'll try it.
