https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D279122 Mark Johnston <markj@FreeBSD.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |markj@FreeBSD.org Resolution|--- |Not Accepted Status|New |Closed --- Comment #3 from Mark Johnston <markj@FreeBSD.org> --- In general we haven't invested a lot of effort into making it easy to shrink the kernel image size. There is the MINIMAL kernel configuration which you= can use as a base if you really want to save a few MB. (For reference, strippi= ng an amd64 GENERIC-NODEBUG kernel takes it from 28MB to 25MB.) As Warner notes, stripping the kernel will break some facilities that are useful for debugging, making it much harder to diagnose problems. We have = too few resources to investigate such problems as it is, and I think the additi= on of yet another knob just to strip kernels is not warranted. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
