The size matters when you need to boot some recovery media from you desktop on remote server via KVM. And there is one thing I don't understand - why is the bootonly so large? I remember days when this fits to 50MB and now it is almost 235MB which renders it almost useless. For recoveries and remote installs I always use mfsbsd images (about 45MB). Miroslav Lachman
