Smaller is (usually) better (and as I said we're going to do more work
on the footprint part in ksh93 after the initial putback).
I agree, I am just wondering how useful OpenSolaris would be with it's
substantially larger kernel.
OpenSolaris is a source code base that can be build into a distribution.
So the kernel someone builds for an embedded distro based on
OpenSolaris can have as big or as small a kernel as is needed.
Just like when building a Linux based embedded system you wouldn't build
and ship every possible kernel module it would be silly to do so for an
OpenSolaris one too.
Forget everything you know about how Solaris Express or any of the
current distros install or what kernel modules they include.
