-** Currently it increases the rootfs size by 6 MBytes and so, without cleanup, '''it won't fit in the old APF9328 boards with 8 MBytes FLASH size'''. So for the moment, if you have an 8MB FLASH, you can only use it from a [[Network_Configuration#Boot_from_NFS | NFS]] or [[MultiMediaCard#Booting_from_MMC.2FSD | a MMC/SD rootfs]]. If your are a Python expert you can still delete some files in $ARMADEUS_ROOTFS/usr/lib/python2.4/... and tell us what isn't mandatory and uses a lot of space for nothing.
