Also, maybe it is a good idea to move compiler backend out of cc1, cc1plus and cc1obj into something like libbackend.so ? pro: space saving can be considerable, especially with upcoming g77. contra: backend must be compiled position-independent. > Should uucp (~ 1MB) be put on a uucpdist Definitely. ? > > Any other ? mountd, nfsd, nfsiod - why are they linked static and live in /sbin ? Is anyone expected to export filesystem before mounting /usr? Do anyone care about nfs performance before mounting /usr? Same for /sbin/dmesg /sbin/ipfw /sbin/nologin. Same for a lot of programs in /bin. Dima. > > -- > Poul-Henning Kamp > TRW Financial Systems, Inc. > FreeBSD has, until now, not one single time had an undetected error. :-) >
