Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I noticed the thread a little while ago about shrinking the kernel to get it on the release floppies (was that here or on hackers?) and splash seems like a good candidate for the chopping block. AFAICT it's not required if you don't want a splash screen and the install disks aren't set up for a default splash screen. I just tried making a kernel without splash and it seems to work fine, in fact I'm writing this email on the same machine. Of course, I've only been running this kernel for a few minutes so I guess something bad could crop up. Is there any reason its included in GENERIC?
