Several things are brewing. Brian Raiter is doing amazing magic with making ELF files smaller. I will definitely have enough space to add "findsuper" and "rescuept", just using his ELFKickers sstrip. Now he is writing a linker that will do even more. Note, I looked at "fixdisktable" and "gpart" in addition to "rescuept". Gpart is too big and fancy for tomsrtbt. However, I do think "gpart" looks better if anyone cares to pursue it, it has a homepage at: http://www.stud.uni-hannover.de/user/76201/gpart/ Fixdisktable doesn't do much more than rescuept as far as finding partitions, it may even be buggier, it does try to automate the recreation of the table (rescuept just prints it out), but it doesn't add anything that I care about. I am now working on upgrading my gcc from 2.7.2.3 to 2.95.1 or what-ever, and the EGCS based compiler saves a BIG SIGNIFICANT amount of space. Huh. I didn't know this, or I would have done this earlier. The 2.95.1 makes MUCH smaller outputs! How? Dunno. But, it may free up enough room to start looking at glibc6, or just adding support for a few things, or maybe I'll put on mp3blaster and a bunch of soundcard support. I'll probably wait until the ELF magic settles down and is tested, and I get some experience with 2.95.1, before uploading another one, but progress is being made. Supposedly, there are prob-lems a-plenty trying to build 2.0.x kernels with EGCS based GCC, but, it may be worth going down that road if it saves a bunch of space on the kernel, too. I'll have to try this. -Tom
