<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>It is not much bigger. This is more a
packaging issue. The CD image contains many things that are not required to run
an A2 system. Actually, you just need about a dozen modules to run an A2 system
(see <a href="http://www.ocp.inf.ethz.ch/wiki/Documentation/Kernel">http://www.ocp.inf.ethz.ch/wiki/Documentation/Kernel</a>).

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>It seems that it would be a good idea to
provide a “small” A2 release so that people don’t get
confused about the 75MB size of the CD-Image. I will report back here when such
a small A2 release is available online.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
