Jan.Grant> Quick question: can someone confirm that the loader on the Jan.Grant> kern.flp image that comes with 4.5-release can handle a Jan.Grant> compressed kernel image? Yes. Mount kern.flp (it's a simple UFS filesystem) and see what's in it. Jan.Grant> I suspect this is my fault (I've already worked around it) - Jan.Grant> but just checking. How do you gzip your kernel? You can use gzip(1) to gzip kernel, and you can't use kgzip(8) for that. Jan.Grant> I suspect most people are using bootable ISO images these Jan.Grant> days. I think so too, I know that many users fetch ISO image instead of the distribution itself, from snapshots.jp.FreeBSD.org :-) -- - Makoto `MAR' Matsushita To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
