I just have one more question! In a reply to my original post Ken Moffat made the above comment. I have also read about this elsewhere. However, does anybody know at what point the binary size becomes a problem for my system caches? In particular what caches are most affected? Is it 10% to 15% above the normal un-optimized size? Or is it much more or even less? Once again, many thanks! But I suspect this is a "how long is a piece of string" type question ;--) Athena -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
