Debian Installer integration and image sizes

[chris at chris-lamb.co.uk (Chris Lamb)]

Hi all,

Just FYI (and because I have some data available right now!), here are the
ramifications on image size of the various Debian Installer integration
options:


 * Netboot installer
   ie. LH_DEBIAN_INSTALLER="businesscard|netboot|netinst" or when
   LH_BINARY_IMAGES="net"
                               add 19 MiB
                                    ||
                                    \/
 * "Live" installer
   ie. LH_DEBIAN_INSTALLER="live" and  LH_BINARY_IMAGES != "net"

                               add 30 MiB
                                    ||
                                    \/   
 * "Normal" installer
   ie. LH_DEBIAN_INSTALLER="enabled|cdrom" and LH_BINARY_IMAGES != "net"

                               add 85 MiB

Some notes:

 * Figures are cumulative.

 * These were generated using live-helper from Git. If you use the current
   released version you will notice that the "live" installer is + 110MiB (!)
   and the normal installation is zero MiB on top.

 * These figures include the graphical installer which is installed by
   default on most archs - subtract 12 MiB if you remove it. This would
   make live installation cost (19+30-12 =) 37MiB.
