Well, do you have any suggestions for building a dynamic linked binary with *no* dependencies? There isn't room on the boot floppy for a binary and its shared library (and don't even talk to me about building a "mini libc" - that evil idea has been discussed to death!) so whichever binary I stick there can't have any *required* deps. Having it load shared libs later, once it's latched on to some sort of media, is a another matter - I just can't get past the startup deps problem. I've tried to link dynamic bins with libc non-shared and it just doesn't seem to work! :( Jordan
