Re: Help with Mondoarchive growth

Bruno,

After reading your email the fault was my own.  I had mistakenly increased
the /etc/mindi/mindi.conf entries as follows:
EXTRA_SPACE=2000000
BOOT_SIZE=5000000

I meant to set them as follows:
EXTRA_SPACE=200000
BOOT_SIZE=500000

Once I made the changes as wanted, the resultant ISOs returned to two.

1. In other posts I read that BOOT_SIZE is not used after Mondorescue 3.2,
is this correct?  Because commented out BOOT_SIZE was not enough, the size
was important.
2. What do these settings do?  What do they affect?

Thanks for the quick reply, it was greatly appreciated.

Tone.
