Hello, I would like to add my own straw to the camel's back. I last used a floppy (DSL, not LEAF, I think) about four years ago as an emergency boot. (My CF was scrambled, and the backup had found its way into a childs camera...).
My current LEAF box would not fit into a floppy - it is 3.1MB. However, I do remember spending a rather nice afternoon paring down the setup so it *would* fit. I found that: 1. The rigor of the floppy-limit made me think about what I wanted from the box, what I wanted to do, and how I could do it. 2. The embedded-ish box I was working towards responded well to a smaller installation - it leaves more space for logging/debugging/tracing. Is it true that 'smaller' still has some practical value on very tiny devices? 3. Smaller boots faster. (mostly) (sometimes?) Or am I kidding myself? Of these, I like the first the best - the size limit is an essentially arbitrary restriction that focuses me on getting what I want cleanly and well. If we were doing poetry, LEAF is a Haiku, not a Scandinavian epic.
