hi,
ia there any way to compress the FreeBSD kernel,so
that its size becomes small,and which can be
uncompressed before bootup,the way its done in
linux.Actually i want a kernel of smaller but its
being bigger than what i want,but comparitively the
linux kernel is nearly half the size(because its
compressed).does anybody have experience in this
field.if so the please help me out in this problem.

but i was glad to know ,that if i keep the same
configuration in linux and freebsd,comparitively the
"uncompressed" kernel of FreeBSD is much smaller that
the "uncompressed" kernel of Linux.

anyway if anybody has any idea please share it with
me.

any help will be highly appreciated.

thanks

rohit
