I was able to build busybox on PowerPC, and it was uploaded. I didn't
have a problem with the size of the root disks. Obviously there's
something going on with your build machine that isn't happening on
mine.

Ethan, I need the good will and good work of other maintainers, we all
need to cooperate if boot-floppies is going to keep moving forward.
Are you intentionally trying to piss peoople off and make my job
harder?
This sort of vitriolic response to a valid question is completely
uncalled for. Especially in a volunteer organization, where people
contribute because they want to, because it's fun. You're just
killing the fun, and not helping anyone.
