You can get pretty close by staying out of /bin, /sbin, and /stand and hitting /usr/bin, /usr/sbin and so forth. Just don't zip gzip or you'll be in a lot of trouble! Note that this will really slow down your execution time since you're running two programs every time you run one plus the time needed to extract the binary. If you have a big machine it may not be such a problem. > Is it possible when running make world or do I have to > gzip each file individually. You could write a shell script to do it fairly easily. You'd have to ask or read the Makefile so see if there is a mechanism to automatically zip executables as they're installed.
