While this will reduce this initrd size, you should also mention the consequences of doing this: It only includes the modules update-initramfs thinks are needed to boot the system. But this also results in two important consequences: 1) You lose portability of the system. By only including the modules needed to boot in the current hardware this may limit your ability to boot the system on different hardware. 2) MODULES=dep is a codepath less tested. In my experience this can lead to modules missing which are needed for successful boot, resulting in a failed or incomplete boot. Grüße, Sven -- Sigmentation fault. Core dumped.
