Hi, I started fiddling with the default configuration for x86 kernel udebs and ended up with what is attached. Size went down ~38k:
753834 2003-06-15 15:27 bzImage
732753 2003-06-15 15:40 bzImage
Then I tried compressing the same image with upx:
2010903 -> 894819 44.49% linux/386 foolinux
That's ~179k larger than bz2 compressed one. This was
with upx 1.24 in unstable.. the one using non-free
nrv compression library is supposed to be able to
do a lot better, but we cannot use it. Perhaps we
can use upx on busybox etc.
Anyway, it starts to be time to get the kernel configuration
done, so images can be build. I did not even find kernel
udebs for all archs, so that is propably one of the first
things to take care of. Who should be bugged about those?
