What machine is that ? We could always try for a specially targeted
initrd for this kind of machines, one more should be no problem, and
since most of our package add support for almost all powerpc hardware,
there may be lot of space to gain. If you provide more info on the
hardware, i would be willing to give this a test. Is this acceptable to
you ?
