That's worth quite a bit to me, actually :-). Tells me that downgrading my toolchain is probably a waste of time and effort. > I'm guessing it's another symptom of the old "kernel too big" problem? How has this been worked around in the past? I have a fairly feature-full kernel, but the only built-in drivers are for the things that have to be present at boot time. If drivers compiled as modules contribute to the bloat, I could easily omit file system support for things I'll likely never see attached to an alpha. Similarly, drivers for removable USB devices I don't currently use with the system could be omitted as well. Netfilter keeps growing like the hairball it is: features I'm not likely to ever use could be disabled if that might help. --Bob -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-alpha" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
