hi, iam recompiling my kernel to create a minimal kernel which along with initrc and the root FS should fit in a floppy.IS it possible to create a freebsd kernel that way.i configured freebsd but the minimum as 1.5M (i had n/w and sound support and other general things).I think its loading all the drivers(dont know whether modular or inbuilt,because if its modular then it wont affect the kernel) and the same thing for sound.If iam removing sound then i get 1.3M.but its still very high and i want sound.whats the way to get a even smaller kernel(somewhere around 700 - 800 k) and please mention it how to go about it.i have gone through lots of documentation but all say about the config file and i tried with that but not getting it.Is it that iam missing something.please let me know. any help will be highly appreciated. thanx in advance rohit __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
