Hmm, yes. Right now a NO_FICL loader is running at about 140kb on -current. :( >> killing write_mfs_in_kernel from the release > > no problem, if you do that i will put it in tinyware just for > picobsd purposes. Ok, sounds good. One question: how do you feel about moving src/release/picobsd to src/picobsd since it doesn't really have anything to do with release building? I think that write_mfs_in_kernel is about the only thing that it uses from the release directory now. -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
