Buchan, you probably already know this, but for others, there's more to
worry about than just the binary:
[todd@fiji ~]$ ldd /bin/more
libtermcap.so.2 => /lib/libtermcap.so.2 (0x40028000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/i686/libc.so.6 (0x4002d000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
[todd@fiji ~]$ ldd /usr/bin/less.bin
libncurses.so.5 => /lib/libncurses.so.5 (0x40028000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/i686/libc.so.6 (0x40069000)
libgpm.so.1 => /usr/lib/libgpm.so.1 (0x40186000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
You have to start relocating libraries to /lib as well. In this case
it's only one, but each case that's "only one" starts adding up to
larger and larger required root partitions and that's what is trying to
be kept small.
Blue skies... Todd
