Increasing the compression by using lzma with compression level 9 improves the situation (I'm wondering why this isn't the default, given the fact that many users do not have a large /boot partition) with no visible drawback. Compression is slower, but this is not something one does often. However, the initrd.* file is still significantly larger (by 20 MB) than previously. And according to the documentation, the difference between MODULES=most (default) and MODULES=dep concerns the filesystem and harddrive drivers, while I was concerned by the drivers for the Nvidia cards. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
