I've had good luck installing into larger storage, like a 2GB CF, and then making a squashfs and loopmount of /usr, getting it down to a reasonable installed size < 512MB, and then cloning that (with rsync or tar) into the target 512MB CF. Haven't tried that in squeeze though. Tony -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
