Talking with a few friends we suddenly noticed that the FreeBSD kernel is lots bigger (about 3 times) than the Linux kernel - how so? Also, what average kernel size do you guys have? My FreeBSD box is configured as gateway/NATD/firewall, other than that there are not too many bells and whistles. The resulting kernel is a whopping 1'932'208 bytes. Is there something obvious I did not see? Also... how do I display the total size of all files in a single directory? Have a lot of fun, Ben PS: Dont forget to CC your answers to benlutz@datacomm.ch . thanks.
