I was able to build busybox on PowerPC, and it was uploaded. I didn't have a problem with the size of the root disks. Obviously there's something going on with your build machine that isn't happening on mine. > none of the crap i disabled is used or needed on boot-floppies. > period. > > bloat is unacceptable and `but i386 is ok' is not an acceptable > excuse. > > i asked for over 30k of savings and you gave me half for no good > reason. > > stop wasting time or get an NMU. Ethan, I need the good will and good work of other maintainers, we all need to cooperate if boot-floppies is going to keep moving forward. Are you intentionally trying to piss peoople off and make my job harder? This sort of vitriolic response to a valid question is completely uncalled for. Especially in a volunteer organization, where people contribute because they want to, because it's fun. You're just killing the fun, and not helping anyone. -- ...Adam Di Carlo..<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>...<URL:http://www.onshored.com/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
