Hello, Kimmo. You wrote 9 =D0=B0=D0=BF=D1=80=D0=B5=D0=BB=D1=8F 2013 =D0=B3., 21:59:37: KP> Your comparison is far from accurate, include the memory taken by KP> loaded kernel modules on both systems and then you might get some KP> proper numbers. Linux is known to _work_ on SOHO MIPS boxes, with 4MiB of flash and 16MiB of RAM. You could say about ``loaded kernel modules,'' but when whole firmware, with all needed utils, like PPPoE client, Web-based UI, DHCP server, etc, is only 3.5MiB (Ok, it is compressed, but anyway it should work on 16MiB of RAM), it looks like functional Linux kernel could be about 1MiB without any modules. --=20 // Black Lion AKA Lev Serebryakov <lev@FreeBSD.org>
