Odd, I did the same, but ended up with ~360 Mb.
Are you sure you got all those symlinks in <whatever>/lib?
(I bet you know what I mean...  ;^) )
I am trying to use mkisofs to make a bootable CD out of it,
but can't seem to figure out the -b and -c options to
mkisofs.  I have tried -b images/boot.img -c bootcat.bin,
but mkisofs complains that boot catalog cannot find a
valid file.  Anyone done this?
