Yipe! And there we were picking nits from busybox... While the busybox nits are probably valid, they are nothing compared to these. [andersen@slag gcc-2.95-2.95.4.ds5]$ dpkg -l reiserfsprogs | tail -n1 ii reiserfsprogs 3.x.0j-6 User-level tools for ReiserFS filesystems [andersen@slag gcc-2.95-2.95.4.ds5]$ du -hc /sbin/mkreiserfs /sbin/reiserfsck /sbin/resize_reiserfs 92k /sbin/mkreiserfs 184k /sbin/reiserfsck 96k /sbin/resize_reiserfs 372k total It might be nice for people to have a rescue disk that has reiserfsck and resize_reiserfs on it, but the boot floppies cannot be all things to all people. If we really need to include these, I can see a couple options. We could switch to cramfs (and the 2.4.x kernels it requires). Or we could switch making just a boot floppy which is then used to bootstrap a larger bf system image. -Erik -- Erik B.
