Also "today's hardware" increasingly includes small devices like Raspberry Pi. ARM devices don't typically use anaconda, but there are also small x86 based devices competing with the small ARM devices. I think the answer is "no", but I'll ask anyway: is there a way to evict all the firmware once the system is started? I'm guessing that as long as it's all in one disk image, that's not possible. Can we tack on a second disk image with use-once (at most) stuff and then drop the whole image after startup? That wouldn't help the initial RAM usage, but it would free up a chunk (so that dnf can then use it). That wouldn't help with the other large space users, but it would probably make the firmware much less of an issue. -- Chris Adams <li...@cmadams.net> _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
