SubjectRe: Silly little initrd patch
    From: o.r.c@p.e.l.l.p.o.r.t.l.a.n.d.o.r.u.s (david parsons)

I finally gave up on trying to wedge a kernel, libc4, an installer, a shell,
gpm, and a wad of pcmcia goop (for bootstrapping Linux onto my VAIO 505fx)
onto a regular uncompressed 1.44 floppy today, and reworked my initrd'ed
...

Hmm. I wonder why you need gpm? For most purposes selection
(e.g. selection-1.7a) is just as good as gpm, and here

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 67758 Jan 20 11:40 /usr/bin/gpm
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 13160 Mar 19 1997 /usr/bin/selection

selection is a lot smaller.

[selection-1.7a can be found in
ftp://ftp.win.tue.nl/pub/linux-local/utils/misc/selection-1.7a.tar.gz
