Gang,
This is a really silly question, but when building kernels from the source RPMs (it'd be nice if we had the old RHL-style "kernel-source" RPMs, but one must do what one must do), what is the magic flag to include to make the modules NOT have the whole symbol table included?
As distributed, the binary kernel RPM module suite is something like 55MB. If you build it from source and do a "make modules_install", the modules suck up over 200MB. Running "strip" on any given module gets it down to a reasonable size, but it doesn't match the size of the one included in the binary RPM.
I'm obviously missing something here. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - "Hello.
