No, it was pointed out that this cannot be done for LiveCD material, as=20 the packages would have a different content as a regular install. So=20 this is just out of the question. For those wondering : "find /usr/lib64 -name "*.a" | xargs du -ch" will=20 tell you how much disk space is wasted by static libraries. On my Gnome box, this is 246M. I know we won't be able to bring this to=20 0, but having it closer to 10~20M is a very worthy goal imho. Cheers, R=C3=A9mi --=20 gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
