This is so far in the :noise as to be not worth bothering with, imho. We have too many :config options as it is. : :Warner 686 bytes of trivially optionable code is not in the noise. If it were 20 bytes, or 200 bytes I wouldn't care. 686 is starting to get up there, though. Our kernels are already getting rather large. For the device market the magic number is 2MB and 1MB. For floppy support the magic number is around 1MB. Even with compression floppy support is starting to get thin -- 686 bytes (300 compressed) becomes significant. I'm not sure I understand your comments in regards to NFS. NFS is optionable (and for BOOTP to work it's required, obviously). -Matt Matthew Dillon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
