Thanks greatly, my initrd.img-6.10.3-amd64 was full of nvidia .ko files, but after =dep and reinstall, I went from 231M to 26M!
I'm still confused about one thing though. My desktop uses =most for 6.10.3 but doesn't include the same .ko files. Also, my module list is still different from yours. What is initramfs using to decide what to add/subtract at initrd build time?
Well at least if your system doesn't have the nvidia drivers installed and built, it can't include them in the initrd. I have never actually looked at how the initrd decides what to do, but I have changed it to MODULES=dep on systems where the size mattered. -- Len Sorensen
