I think what the original poster on this thread was after was why does
the full SLS distribution take up 64Mb when the README says it should
take 45. Answer: The README lies.
In fact, I'm not exactly sure how one could conveniently partition Linux
within the 64Mb constraints of the Minix file system... I punted and went
to extfs... (Besides, those Minix filename constraints are a hassle.)
While I'm at it, I'd like to throw out another, completely unrelated
question for the gallery... I just installed XView3L3... I've got
libxview.a & libxview.sa big as life in my /usr/lib directory, yet when
I link anything with -lxview, I get a link error complaining that it can't
find libxview.a... If I change out -lxview for /usr/lib/libxview.a,
everything works fine... What gives? Is there some wierd variant of
ldconfig in Linux that I don't know about?
