Well, this makes sense, the image size is 64Mb (66863104 bytes). How can I
exclude packages that are not necesary in Neo1973 (like wifi stuff and the

dirty :)

That's a pity, I'm sure there are a lot 1973's that want to see the ligth
again. Mine had proved be very usefull until now, despite the well known
battery-life problem.
