Debian installer using a udeb for libc/libm/libdl/ldso, doesn't make much sense to me. Even if we get rid of the backward compatibility, you're still looking at over 800k just for libc.so.6, and then 80k for ld-linux.so.2. That doesn't even include libm/libdl. I suspect debian-installer will need to have a dynamic module for when an install image is built, based on the symbols it needs, and then use mklibs (like boot-floppies does) to get a stripped down libc from libc6-pic. -- Debian - http://www.debian.org/ Linux 1394 - http://linux1394.sourceforge.net/ Subversion - http://subversion.tigris.org/ Deqo - http://www.deqo.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
