McGovern" Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Quick question. I am trying to create the smallest kernel possible for inclusion on a bootable floppy. Right now, I'm supporting the floppy drives, a 3C509 card, a match coprocessor, a serial port, and not much else. I'm wondering which is smaller: PCVT or syscons? Also, is there a way to drop the user-config module of the kernel? (again, trying to save space when I can get away with it). I'm running the 2.2 SNAP, BTW. -Brian
