It was always an a.out gzip image activator. gzexe is : available which does almost as good a job as having it in the kernel.. gzexe doesn't work well with an embedded system running from flash... Then again the old a.out gzip image activator didn't work well either because you couldn't share pages effectively, so not much is lost. However, 8k on the boot disk is significant (.5%!). Well worth the effort. Well, this assumes that the 8k figure was the compressed size. Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
