hi yeah I should ask the author about this directly.
After installing this is the disk usage
plug:/boot# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mmcblk0p2 742M 522M 182M 75% /
tmpfs 252M 0 252M 0% /lib/init/rw
udev 10M 140K 9.9M 2% /dev
tmpfs 252M 0 252M 0% /dev/shm
/dev/mmcblk0p1 125M 17M 102M 15% /boot
So for anyone who is following those instructions and using a 1GB card, I would seriously advise making the boot ~60MB in size, instead of the recommended 140MB. You could still have three kernels installed with a partition of that size.
This is the list of currently installed packages, sorted by size for anyone who is interested:
There's definitely room for some streamlining.
edit: I never realised passwd was such a monster program, 4 times the size of busybox!
