[Xorp-users] XORP on an embedded system?

[Joe Coco]

Everything compiled, everything enabled, it's exactly 20MB:

# dh -hs
20M     .

I think that will fit.  There are scons options to compile out most of logging and various
features now to make the code smaller.

Please try the latest code from github and see if it works for you.  If not, patches
are welcome to make the code smaller...

Thanks,
Ben
