In the last episode (Mar 31), Ronald Klop said:The syscons manual page says: " The following options will remove some features from the syscons driver and save kernel memory. [...] SC_NO_SYSMOUSE This option removes mouse support in the syscons driver. The mouse daemon moused(8) will fail if this option is defined. This option implies the SC_NO_CUTPASTE option too. "
How much memory does this save (or how can I discover that)? Is it worth it on a 96MB PentiumII laptop?
I would guess that the memory savings is probably on the order of kilobytes. Useful if you're trying to prevent excessive swapping on an 8MB system. Not worth disabling on your system.
How can I see the size of my kernel?
I know vmstat -m and netstat -m, but from that info I don't see if I reduced the memory footprint after disabling an option or device.
