NFS is : optionable (and for BOOTP to work it's required, obviously). NFS is on the install boot disk. Some minor efforts on nfs could result in a savings of more than 686 bytes. We'd get a larger bang for the buck loading the firmware for drivers, reducing the verbosity of messages, etc. It is already controlled by a sysctl variable. We're at the level where > 1k should be the threshold. Many changes in the kernel have > 1k. look at kern_ntptime.o. It is approx 2.5k, but not optional. Other example could be found in that same size range (or bigger, look at the kernel linker at 6k)... That's the point I'm trying to make. There are bigger poles in this tent and we have't been good about marking the poles, nor in establishing policy for compile time vs runtime engineering decisions.
