I once stripped down 4.7 to under 10 MB then another 10 MB of Apache & extensions, and another 10 MB of Perl. My stripping technique was not to remove that which was unneeded but to add only that which was needed, drawn from a chroot'ed custom build which dynamically linked items such as /bin/sh which are normally statically linked so that they work when /usr/lib isn't available. Wasn't an issue for this application as everything went on as single read-only filesystem on a Compact Flash card. Used my list of binaries to extract a list of libraries referenced, then only copied those libraries to my target. -- David Kelly N4HHE, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ======================================================================== Whom computers would destroy, they must first drive mad. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
