Sorry, yeah -- that griping is not out of context in the Cloud WG where I also posted this, but is here. Grub2 has the huge virtue of *It Actually Works*, a claim which currently none of the competition can make. But *that* said, the current packaging means that grub2 adds 70MB on disk — about 12% of the entire cloud image. I'm not saying grub2 is evil, just that this is a big portion of the gain and is worth attacking in order to reverse it. I talked briefly to Peter Jones and he says there's quite a bit which can be done there, if going back to extlinux doesn't seem like a viable option. But grub2 isn't the only growth — only about a third of it. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
