ah yes. stripping every binary, combining binaries, linking statically if the library is only used once, compiling kernels with every possibly option left out, etc. i did this a lot. i remember being ecstatic because compiling a kernel with everything i needed and not compiling in module support bought me 50k or something. > Yes it is, but (A) it has to work on non-mac machines, (B) floppies can > be very convenient, and (C) Does BootX have ramdisk support yet? > Dan from the start ben put ramdisk support in bootx. i'm using it in the next turbolinuxppc and since we are focusing on macs and clones i don't have to worry about squeezing stuff onto a floppy. i don't envy you :) (btw, the ramdisk is a *standalone* ramdisk.tar.gz file which makes it convenient to build) brad
