Re: Size numbers for the console-setup-enabled version of D-I

Strings were not compressed in memory with kbd-chooser, were they? Just like other debconf templates, I don't think they were. I have a small doubt, though. However, your explanation is probably right. Given the potential huge impact on memory, compression was introduced in 1.37. So, having the strings compressed is likely to be what is giving us this memory gain. Of course, that solves out the memory requirements but not the initrd size impact signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Size numbers for the console-setup-enabled version of D-I
Quoting Frans Pop (elen...@planet.nl): 1. Package size - impact on initrd size and memory usage In general I think it is necessary to be very alert on this, especially for udebs that are included in initrds. .iso size free mem after boot mini.iso: 8,916,992B 230,884kB mini-cs-i386.iso 9,267,200B 229,608kB Christian did forget to drop console-keymaps-at from his iso, so the actual numbers should be a bit lower. If I correct for that, I get: - a ~250Kb (2.8%) initrd size increase - an extra memory usage of just under 1Mb (!) Updated numbers after creating an image without console-keymaps-at and with console-setup 1.40: .iso size initrd size free mem after boot mini.iso: 8,923,136B 15,955,968B 231,048kB mini-cs-i386.iso9,150,464B 16,284,672B 231,184kB initrd size : +328Kb memory : -136Kb!!
