1.16.0. I didn't say the binary is that small. I said the variable data size is that size. When loading a FLAT binary, the kernel allocated one chunk for the binary (usually shared with existing copies if possible, which is great for busybox cases of course), and another for the variable data (heap, stack, etc). It was the variable data that is allocated per instance that I got that small. Turning on tracing in the FLAT binary using flthdr makes the kernel tell you when running things how much it is using. The busybox binary is 264KB in my case (with is using a FLAT with data compression enabled). -- Len Sorensen _______________________________________________ uClinux-dev mailing list uClinux-dev@uclinux.org http://mailman.uclinux.org/mailman/listinfo/uclinux-dev This message was resent by uclinux-dev@uclinux.org To unsubscribe see: http://mailman.uclinux.org/mailman/options/uclinux-dev
