IIRC Buchan checked for KALLSYMS and it also was introduced in 9.1 acpi is compiled with Os and is ~120k, let's say ~10% kallsyms is additional 10%-20% let's say 120-240k (in my test with 22.10mdk i think it was the second number) and i think one can live without kallsyms, but acpi is needed for some systems as there were no such complains (except the xfs case) in mdk 9.1 i assume that if kallsyms is disabled, one will be able to produce a boot floppy and the regular user wont loose too much by running a kernel without kallsyms you could adjust the create_configs script to activate it in case a %debug kernel is built,if something needs debuging but adding 200k to the standard image without obvious reason? of course there are still other possibilities, IIRC around 9.1 betas i sujested to build 2 boot floppies, but no one was really interested in the idea svetljo > 8.0: 833285 Apr 15 2001 /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.3-20mdk > > 8.1: 1047752 Sep 23 2001 /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.8-26mdk > > 8.2: 887614 Mar 15 2002 /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-6mdk > > 9.0: 880346 Sep 20 2002 /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.19-16mdk > > 9.1: 1252778 Mar 14 2003 /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.21-0.13mdk > > 9.2: 1343803 Sep 18 12:43 /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.22-10mdk > > -- > Guillaume Cottenceau - http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~gc/ > -- NEU FÜR ALLE - GMX MediaCenter - für Fotos, Musik, Dateien...
