Kernel image size limitations silo?



Hi Jose (and others @Oracle)!

I am in the final process of creating a fresh set of debian-installer
images for sparc64 and just stumbled over the following comment in
the scripts which create the sparc install images [1]:

# Sparc64 kernel is so big, that uncompressing it corrupts SILO memory,
# uncompress it before hand.

Does this apply to the 64-bit version of silo which I built from git
plus your patches from [2]?

I assume this no longer applies and I can replace the zcat in the final
line with just a simple "cp".

Cheers,
Adrian
