No. If every package were packaged like this, you would have 25% (according to your calculation, almost 100% according to Jim) more space occupied on your disk than you need. Booting with Etherboot is a reliable method that works for many people. We should not force them to install unnecessary stuff. BTW, I have had several requests to create a .deb version of the sound package, but none for the pxe package, so the interest (at least among Debian users) seems to be limited. > In that case, you would need 3 packages really: > => ltsp_kernel as is, but minus kernel > => ltsp kernel (non-PXE) > => ltsp_kernel (PXE) This seems to be the best solution. Installing an additional package is easy with correct dependencies. If help is needed to split the packages, I could do that after I am back from vacation.
