I think the problem is that unless you're careful, you are quite likely to generate huge code without noticing - some of it even unneeded and unused code. The kernel, unlike most executables, takes up real memory (it is not demand-paged from disk) so having a huge kernel is a real bummer. -- Nadav Har'El | Monday, Jun 10 2002, 1 Tammuz 5762 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone: +972-53-245868, ICQ 13349191 |Welcome to the Church of the Holy http://nadav.harel.org.il |Cabbage.
