Given that with the new compression willy added that 230k is down to 75k, how about keeping the non-NIC stuff too? I've found it useful when debugging installations. What I usually do is drop to a shell and run `lspci -v > /var/log/` and then fire up the d-i webserver to grab the output. That is super useful. (joeyh, could d-i put the output of lspci -v in /var/log all the time? should I file a wishlist bug?) Also, I wouldn't be surprised if at some point somebody writes a udeb (in debian or 3rd party) that needs the non-NIC info anyway. If d-i is still looking for space later on, then maybe the non-NIC stuff could get stripped out. -- Matt Taggart [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
