the netinst page claims:

Up to 300 MB in size, this image contains the installer and a
small set of packages which allows the installation of a (very)
basic system.

netinst CD image (generally 150-300 MB, varies by architecture)

but we're now at 400MB on amd64:

[schwarzgerat](0) $ ls -l downloads/debian-11.6.0-amd64-netinst.iso
-rw-r--r-- 1 dank dank 406847488 2023-03-08 02:47 downloads/debian-11.6.0-amd64-netinst.iso
[schwarzgerat](0) $

just thought i'd let y'all know!

Yup, we know. Things are growing over time.

In fact, the bookworm release will be bigger again due to including
firmware too.

my sincere apologies if this came off as a complaint about the
size or anything else; i just wanted to bring it to the team's
attention =]. perhaps a salsa MR might have been a better
approach.
Not at all. No worries, thanks for mentioning it! :-)
