Which reduction tool is this? I haven't dealt with this > before, but it definitely would be worth supporting. mklibs.sh, originally by Marcus Brinkmann. http://cvs.debian.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/~checkout~/boot-floppies/scripts/rootdisk/mklibs.sh The last one I tried was revision 1.17, but it the lastest looks ok. Very effective on glibc: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 887712 Mar 26 10:35 /lib/libc-2.1.3.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 369964 Mar 28 23:11 libc-2.1.3.so This was a big help in getting a 2.4 kernel and an initrd with the needed LVM files onto a 1.44MB floppy!
