That's why we don't remove them. Or are > you saying that top doesn't work? Reread the quoted messages above. It was asked "is it possible to leave just the necessary symbols". You said "we do", but we dont. It is fairly easy to do this though. We just need to remove a couple of 'static' declarations and then top etc will work with a stripped kernel. Strip only removes one of the two symbol tables.
