Not sure about this one, could you tell us exactly what iMac model you have ?
Like said, there are 3 of them, the originl CRT screen in various colors, the
sunflower ones with the TFT screen on an articulated arm, and the new G5 ones
with everything inside the screen iteslf.

it is 100MB on x86, but powerpc binaries are bigger, and we carry more kernel
flavours (powerpc 32bit, powerpc64 64bit, apus, ...).
