Kernel size: Why no change after patching?
Hi.
I am newbie on OpenBSD and am learning things as I go. I observed something about Kernel size. As I could not reason it out, I am presenting it to this forum. I would appreciate if you could please help me understand. I bought 4.7 CD and installed 4.7 on my home desktop. /bsd has a size of 7582622 Yesterday, I checked out the stable branch of 4.7 and rebuild the kernel as per FAQ. /bsd (after stable build) also has the same size of 7582622. I checked the size of bsd on the CD-1. It has the above size too. From the patch list posted, I know that reliability fixes have been made. My questions are: a) Why does the kernel size not change between release and stable build even after reliability fixes? b) Did I not build the kernel correctly? During research, I found one post: http://screamingelectron.org/forum/s...ad.php?p=14496 Thanks. |
