There is a bug against the Federa Server Edition armhfp installation
iso
see
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1963007
The F35 build exceeds the current max size of 700 mb (by about 20 mb)
There are obviously 2 options:
(a) reduce the size by removing some packages
(b) Determine a new max size
According to my recent experimentation with aarch64 server iso the arm
build is a splendid materialization of the current concept of Fedora Server
Edition. Therefore, I'm hesitant to remove packages. I would also have no
idea which ones could be dispensable. Therefore, from a user/admin
perspective, I would opt to set 750 as the new maximum size and proceed
with the current build.
Unfortunately, I am not (yet) familiar with the ARM architecture and have
no idea what technical or practical problems or side effects might arise
from that.
Therefore I would like to ask the Arm experts here for a recommendation on
how to proceed.
In the past, there was some large kernel modules that were not needed that
were removed.
(the biggest module actually had a whole kernel built in it. It was
literally as big as the rest of the kernel)
Usually it just requires taking the last build that is small enough, and
compare it with the build that is bigger.
And then you hope that it's something obvious like a massive kernel module
that snuck in.
