[comp.unix.xenix] Make Kernel Smaller?

toppin@melpar.UUCP (Doug Toppin) (11/09/89)

We are running SCO Xenix 2.2 on the 286 and have noticed that on
bootup the kernel is taking around 671K. I looked at the master
file and found a number of drivers that I do not need and would
like to take them out. The problem is that I don't know how to
tell which to take out. If anyone knows how to determine which
driver names are associated with the master file entries or where
to find it in the manual I'd appreciate being told.
thanks

I would suggest first using configure and mkdev to look at those
devices no longer needed.
