The binaries keep getting bigger. Fossil is much bigger than kfs ever was. It's just little by little. I don't know for sure but I doubt the kernel is the actual problem. The current floppy contains over 4MB of root file system (mostly binaries), compressed very carefully down to around 700kB. If I sat down and tweaked the compression some more I'm sure I could get the current binaries onto the disk, but I don't care enough. Maybe later. Much of the bloat is from library routines that don't actually get called in practice but end up linked into every binary anyway (like the formatters for %e, %f, and %g). Shared libraries would help a lot here. Maybe that should be a summer of code project, eh, Uriel? Russ
