UPX it. Or just rebuild it (I've not tried), esp. with "smaller" DJGPP 2.03p2. Check the linker map, it should tell you where the biggest .o files are. But yes, DJGPP's libc leaves a lot to be desired in small size. (--gc-sections doesn't work for COFF.) Might be better to rebuild (if possible, probably unlikely due to POSIX crud) with OpenWatcom. BTW, somebody mentioned HTGET, which we have also (though I haven't tried it): http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/net/htget/ I also can't help but wonder if something like w3m would build. Bah, too curious for my own good. ;-) > That's not helping a "hey > let's boot from floppy, configure internet access and install from > downloaded/mounted ISO file" Floppies just don't hold enough. Add to that the fact that they fail semi-frequently, and you have a lose/lose combination which makes everybody hate them (and soon they will be officially obsolete, ugh). > I wonder if your Watcom package can be converted into a self-hosting > bootable compiling platform.

Other than that, it just depends on what else you need. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable. Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes sense of it. IT sense.
