Re: [LEDE-DEV] Smaller /overlay with latest snapshot on WDR-3600

Hi,

Thanks for your reply, I had not thought about the larger packages
went I sent my email, and I think this is the correct explanation.

I will either reduce my list or build a custom image.

Thanks

Damien

Hi,

4,5 MiB sounds about right for a device with 8 MiB flash. If you do a 
factory reset, does the flash layout look identical to an older LEDE 
installation? It should, afaik, I haven't seen any changes in that sense 
in git lately. Most probably one of the packages you install afterwards 
grew in size (or maybe pulled in new dependencies).


You might be better off using the image generator to include the 
packages you want in your image, prior to flashing it. That's more 
efficient space-wise.


Hope this helps.

Stijn
