d-i: a suprise



kernel-image-di (0.011) unstable; urgency=low
  * Turned OFF cramfs, after noticng this:
      831k    cramfs-mnt/var/lib/dpkg/info
      110k    ext2-mnt/var/lib/dpkg/info
    Same contents; cramfs does poorly with lots of small files, compared to
    appropriatly tuned ext2.

It actually made the initrd too big to fit on the floppy, so cramfs is
not surrently an option.

BTW, pivot_root onto ramfs (or maybe tmpfs) is almost ready.
