Thank you. I have one question though - why strip (any) libraries? The
nice thing with Linux is that your libraries have debug symbols. If
you debug a program, this usually helps a lot when the bug is
triggered somewhere in system or third party libs. I certainly
understand the space savings issue, but it really does make developing
on Mandrake a lot less convenient.
