I suggest that you avoid insulting your fellow community members; it's not a very effective way of convincing anyone that you have something interesting to say. While we may be able to save 50% of the space in /lib/svc/method, there's a significant downside in terms of readability - and the 70K bytes savings after compression on the liveCD seems... somewhat underwhelming. - Bart -- Bart Smaalders Solaris Kernel Performance barts at cyber.eng.sun.com http://blogs.sun.com/barts "You will contribute more with mercurial than with thunderbird."
