not an apples-to-apples comparison. devdraw images are reclaimable and compactable. and does init paqfs exit or not? that's another 10mb. but memory use is really beside the point. i think the rc booting travels a conceptually greater distance between the kernel starting the first process and being fully functional & configured kernel. this is a cost that for me outweighs the benefits. and anyway, it's code either way. the fact that it's rc and not c doesn't change the fact its built into the kernel. btw, is there any way to identify programs started from the init paq? this is an additional 30 odd programs built into the kernel beyond ipconfig and factotum. (why aren't they part of the init paq?) and i wonder if there couldn't be some confusion. - erik
