I was going to say something about this yesterday, but postponed the email! On a minimal system having a custom kernel, these are the installed sizes: 27324 libicu52 15877 locales 14995 grub-common 13855 coreutils 11362 systemd 10220 libc6 [...] Maybe wget is too bloated for the base system? OTOH, 277 to 360 is just a 30% increase, in approximately two years, which is probably expected following Moore's law... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
