Hi folks - this little query has been bugging me for a while, and I haven't seen anything about it in the recent list archives.... I'm building customised (pre-updated) 7.3 discs on a fully-updated 7.3 platform, using "buildinstall" and friends. The whole process appears to work fine, with no unexpected errors, but I noticed that my "stage2.img" is always about 10Mb smaller than the original one (ie 42Mb versus 52Mb in the original distro). Why is this, and should I worry about it? [ The resulting CDs also seem to work, but I can't help wondering if something's "missing"! Thanks in advance for your help. ] Cheers Alastair .-=-. __________________________________,' `. \ www.mrc-bsu.cam.ac.uk Alastair Stevens, Systems Management Team \ 01223 330383 MRC Biostatistics Unit, Cambridge UK `=.......................
