I'm suggesting that we eventually go to gzip for all kernels and use the new loader with a loader script, yes. As far as it all fitting on one floppy, I wouldn't write that off just yet. The gzip'd kernel is about the same size and the loader is 80K, something which could possibly also be built in a "stripped down" configuration. It's nothing I'd want to do immediately, but I think it might be possible with a little sweat. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
