ls -s1 `which cdparanoia notlame wvdial ripit`
32 /usr/bin/cdparanoia
76 /usr/bin/wvdial
184 /usr/local/bin/notlame
16 /usr/local/bin/ripit
I just added wvdial to my list because it'd be nice to be able to dial
into the internet to get cd & track titles. ripit's a perl frontend that
does cddb. The numbers are kilobytes per file. That's a total of 308k.
I think the *only* other thing we need is the kernel & its modules.
this is the contents of a debian rescue disk:
/mnt/floppy# ls -s1
total 1403
1 debian.txt
1 f1.txt
1 f10.txt
0 f2.txt
1 f3.txt
1 f4.txt
1 f5.txt
1 f9.txt
1 install.sh
5 ldlinux.sys
688 linux
0 rdev.sh
1 readme.txt
696 root.bin
1 syslinux.cfg
0 type.txt
(mounted via "mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy")
linux is the kernel, root.bin is, I believe, the compressed filesystem, to
be loaded onto a ramdisk. Compressed it's over twice the size I need.
Should be no problem, and I should be able to add things like "ls" :)
Well, I'm gonna go bury my nose in the Bootdisk-HOWTO.
