Ahhh.... But why 61676k ? Isn't that rather a lot? I mean, I have a distro on a floppy disk (tmsrtbt) that does just about everything that Debian will do when running in a plain tty...... I realize the comparison isn't really fair, but STILL.... (and I haven't upgraded libc6 from the one that came with the original 2.2.20 kernel) Thanks, Jeffrey.
