Comment:

 There are many ways to solve this request for size information without
 having to build on the XO.

 Figure out the dependencies on you PowerPC, and get 686 RPM
 and get the size of the files.

 The problem is, some drivers are not tiny at all.  And we don't have the
 time right now to have separate images.

 So until such data appears, I'm closing this wontfix.

 is PowerPC, so I really can't say anything useful about the size. Network
 drivers are usually quite small, perhaps a couple dozen kilobytes each.
