My core.img file is 31.13KB in size. Also the auto generated grub.conf seems to include a "raid" module that probably isn't needed? (it also includes mdraid and lvm) Is there a way I can remove it? And as I mentioned, I asked about this in the #grub channel on irc.freenode.net and they seemed to hint at the fact that debian's grub package is known to make the driver modules larger in size that stock grub does. -- Thomas Fjellstrom tfjellst...@shaw.ca -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
