It's 435MB uncompressed, but JFFS2 does automatic compression. The  
XFCE build takes up 250MB of XO flash once installed.

My instructions, I should have mentioned, were for a clean 653. If  
you've already installed an alternative build, nuke the link:

# rm -rf /versions/boot/alt

You may also nuke the actual alt. build if you don't want to use it  
anymore.

The alt. boot will only look at /versions/boot/alt, not any other  
symlinks you've made. Thus the alt-deb symlink doesn't do anything.  
Remove the existing alt symlink and replace it with one for the debian  
build.
