There is no default. The kernel is a few megabytes, the rest depends on what you want the board to achieve. Simplest way is to decide on your list of packages and pass that into a multistrap conf file pointing at Emdebian Grip and then run that (for your native architecture as size won't change that much) and get the size from that. (Multistrap cleans out the downloaded packages and apt cache, so you get a better idea than debootstrap.) There is information on the website already listing some guesses at possible sizes. http://www.emdebian.org/emdebian/flavours.html 50Mb unpacked and configured for just the Priority: required packages from Emdebian Grip. 15Mb download compressed. Grip can go smaller but requires care and is likely to not include support for typical tasks. Quite easy to make an unbootable system that way, so you need to have a rescue environment. Emdebian Crush is smaller (~24Mb for a minimal system) but is only available for oldstable (Lenny) and ARM (not armel or armhf). Those sizes do NOT include the kernel itself, nor the kernel modules. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
