Heh. By Linus' Law, kernel footprint grows. To get a nice useable floppy disk, you may need to do *quite* some jumps to make it fit. In the worst case I had, I even started to throw out some of the device ID tables (unneeded entries), killed printk() by defining a no-op for it etc. to save some *bytes*. Yes, it's a nice dance:-) MfG, JBG -- Jan-Benedict Glaw [email protected] . +49-172-7608481 _ O _ "Eine Freie Meinung in einem Freien Kopf | Gegen Zensur | Gegen Krieg _ _ O für einen Freien Staat voll Freier Bürger" | im Internet! | im Irak!
