Oh boy,
Ha, ha, ha...my mistake. First of all, I found a "core" file
hiding in the directory structure and deleted it (gotta love doing
Quality Assurance work before cutting a release). Second, the actual
sizes are:
romfs image -> 1.2M
romfs.gz (gzip -9) -> 520K
Used Space (total) -> 1.08M
Free Space -> 309K
Bottom line...all the more space for other things on the floppy!
God I love embedded systems! Again, thanks to ALL involved in the
BusyBox, and uClibc project!
