Thanks for your help , in advance. -- Cheers, Lakshmipathi.G ---- This might not help if you followed the LFS instructions to the letter, but you could: 1. Strip all binaries/libraries 2. Compile only the modules you need for your hardware in the kernel config 3. Compile the kernel modules in gzipped format 4. Remove the .a .la .h .pc files for applications you will never compile against (you need to be sure…) 5. Remove the man, info, doc, etc files – they are readily available on the web
