[Devil-linux-develop] size matters?

[Diego T. <dt...@co...>]

Doing tests to make an usb bootable device, i've just discovered one bad thing:

a plain .config (empty, with only the cpu type specified) generates an iso of 88mb...

this looks like something is broken on the new build system. previous isos (of dl0.6) were 50-60mb, and had a lot of software installed.

is this because all the libraries got copied, no matter if they are selected or belong to a software not slected?

du -sm /*
du -sm /usr/*
