If you do "cat ./free" in the Mu-builder directory, you are able to
know the actual free Kb on the floppy. Currently it is 14kb (?), so
you can safety add other 13Kb to your BOOT_FREE value: the space
for a ... single additional profile :-(
Actually, a single profile take about 11k. But they are stored in
a single compressd gzip archive. Previoulsy, the compressor was
bzip2. I do not remember why I changed idea. May be, I will remedy.
For the profiles, we can implement a sort of "differential" storage.
It can store only what it is really changed. Maybe, after 15-20
releases the new implementation may stabilize :-)
Please, look in the /setup/cnf/store: this is also stored with
the profiles. I will check. Maybe, we have some trash in it,
because 11kb for a profile is very too much.
