Well, there's no reason to go make it huge, per se, but the original reason for constraining mfsroot's crunch was that mfsroot.gz had to fit on a single 1.44 MB floppy and it doesn't have to do that anymore, so it's ok if you just want to add a new program and grow the crunch by a few 10k or a few 100k. -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve" = http://www.FreeBSD.org
