[Xorp-hackers] Size concerns

[Atanu Ghosh]

Hi,

I installed xorp on a FreeBSD 4.10 using gcc version 2.95.4. I then stripped
all the executables. I then removed some old core files from
/usr/local/xorp/bin.

$ du -sh  /usr/local/xorp
 50M    /usr/local/xorp

No single binary is larger than 2M.

   Atanu.
