I've specified multiple times, pdksh is SMALLER then our current
FreeBSD-as. (Not meaning to be rude tho)
{"/home/green"}$ ls -l /bin/{,k}sh
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 297488 Oct 18 21:32 /bin/ksh
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 321120 Oct 19 01:37 /bin/sh
{"/home/green"}$ file /bin/{,k}sh
/bin/sh: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (FreeBSD),
statically linked, stripped
/bin/ksh: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (FreeBSD),
statically linked, stripped
BTW, as per the floppy, it seems the newest floppies have minigzip AND
gzip? If I'm wrong, correct me, but that would be a waste of space.
Besides, if you really want to take more out, take compression out of gzip
since all we need is the uncompression.
Cheers,
Brian Feldman
