I remember days when this fits to 50MB and now it is almost 235MB whi= ch renders it almost useless. For recoveries and remote installs I always= use mfsbsd images (about 45MB). >=20 > I wholeheartedly agree. >=20 > It sucks having to transfer more than 50 MB over our work link across a= few thousand miles with IPMI remote KVM redirection. >=20 > Thanks, > -Ngie >=20 With IPMI virtual media, you usually do not transfer the entire image, only read the blocks used by files that you load. Some IPMI clients provide stats, usually only about 40mb is read from the bootonly cd. More if you do things like invoke an editor to write a custom /etc/fstab etc. --=20 Allan Jude --bWkD9TESOBMCP3sXDG11pWnlg5c7NOjU5-- --TE6UtQVn4hUlEjGO65rmEuxTViCB63K5b Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (MingW32) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJXhRt0AAoJEBmVNT4SmAt+LqEP/iCTrsNd9dPvAJCSgrDBKeuq +2fL/XdFYgOW6Vs8EvNxzw7zri+Yws6bVu79vZyLW9Cmw8ohoEfNGFFSXVvUVmM+ oBE2c0lzXYGKBT5+BtWW5wDnbLViaZUBmIwM329rLxsOWL3vv2dWvbS2GXQLdfaL BwUpdfyjPmojy3CFoEoYGBD54owfY+ZJLoYq7HHmgz1cUgruQ3EejzkM02vh79gN DUu47vQoufi3LSNJ1gZjX0LAS8S95KHzxFqQ0KF4dWaRSP8v1tehAwYderIKqcaC 6O1F7zYDmj2PcWDOOgMXooIqBCsrvZA6loA462W01kfyKr9rbEMcLbQaAhB4R3oT d+Rctj7J7D1ufS7UbL659fQWe4pWTezQgJwYSlDJSLkevyI2J9YiJ/XG1+4LsIqO ZTcU0ONX0sugjwO3Lc6/OkLCbpvOuVGqzI6U1SYnY9kDryx8+lJfQO/W7WGhbAiv 62jvrRcH3emh00tySyOFxrRS7gcwIbo9aV62SGGUJpFnzWiQDtoxmSoSkIbNWfgR JOD2neV5nwug/6u1AoHMV2k38ocoLgQqAg72dbnfbMqmWK6EeyOY81Yy5nXyo5Yu xgnQPWtF6Rbz/raN8zEh/gZ/GLX8u6KLZdc0z1G7DCR56kElJiIx1/6tHBUMJ6s7 6nMCnE97N5hDkayNGJM4 =tBBp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --TE6UtQVn4hUlEjGO65rmEuxTViCB63K5b--
