What is the size of the kernel with that .config, versus some other? Kernels as recent as vmlinuz-2.6.25-2-ixp4xx (1365048 bytes) still use gzip. Changing to upx/nrv with filtering of relative subroutine call instructions would save an additional 10% in size, and would boot faster. Changing to lzma with filtering would save an additional 20% in size, at the cost of a couple seconds longer boot. Consult the archives of [nslu2-developer] in June and July 2006 (2 years ago) for topics UPX and lzma, and see http://bitwagon.com/LzmaFlow/LzmaFlow.html . -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
