Hi, I wonder if my compiled linux binary is too large: 7.8MB. I used kernel-2.4.19, the reiserfs-patches from www.reiserfs.org (01-13) = and=20 the uml-patch-2.4.19-32 and compiled as described (make xy ARCH=3Dum). It works fine but it seems as it's too large as the debian user-mode-linu= x=20 package contains a 1.8MB big linux binary. I tried several configs (even the debian-uml-config) and build as much as= =20 possible as modules. Any suggestions (perhaps gcc optimization nescessary etc.)? Thanks & Regards Daniel |

Remember that you expect it to be much bigger than the normal host kernels, since it's not compressed. > I used kernel-2.4.19, the reiserfs-patches from www.reiserfs.org (01-13) and > the uml-patch-2.4.19-32 and compiled as described (make xy ARCH=um). > It works fine but it seems as it's too large as the debian user-mode-linux > package contains a 1.8MB big linux binary. No idea what Debian has done here. Malcolm -- He who laughs last thinks slowest. |

This removes debugging symbols that aren't usually neccessary. strip --strip-all ./linux -- Cameron Kerr Email: cam...@pa... Website: http://nzgeeks.org/cameron/ |
