Actually you can safely remove /modules and /modules.old after a successful "make buildkernel" (!) while you are in single-user just before "make installkernel". Then even a 32 MB root should suffice. If you want to be on the very safe side you can try removing /modules.old first. Often that suffices. A populated /lkm is pointless on an ELF system anyhow. Also /stand gets outdated quickly :-) and thus can be removed. Helge To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
