@mos_8502 TBH, that size is absurd given that entire fully-fledged Linux distros fit in those not too long ago (or still if you don't use something huge like Ubuntu LTS)...

I'm pretty shure I need less than 1,6 GB of space to build OS/1337 and that is with #Linux #Kernel666...

The end result of a statically linked against #musl built kernel (#bzImage) with xz compression is in the 500-700+kB range and witha stripped-down #toybox and the bloaty af #syslinux I managed to fit it onto a 1440kB Floppy...

So yeah, 1,6GiB is way too big for a single, statically linked #binary, #Rust or not...

Like seriously, How do they manage to waste that much space???

That's worse than #Docker & #Snap combined!!!
