Problem with make-fai-bootfloppy

[Joerg Decker]

Hi,

I have the same issue as Binh Ngo:
> I upgraded fai to version 2.6.5 and fai_kernels to version 1.8.1. This

Building a new kernel (2.6.8) :

/usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.8# make-kpkg --rootcmd fakeroot
--append-to-version -fai --revision 2 kernel-image

... as described in /usr/share/doc/fai-kernels/README produces a kernel
package (kernel-image-2.6.8-fai_2_i386.deb) 4881392 bytes huge even when
the network drivers are removed.

Suggestions/comments anyone?

Thanks in advance,
Joerg
