About stripping

Hi,

I'm trying to build a LFS system, but i want to reduce the
size where
possible. So i read the part of stripping, and i saw this
message:
Take care not to use --strip-unneeded on the libraries. The
static
ones would be destroyed and the toolchain packages would
need to be
built all over again.
But what about running --strip-unneeded on only the shared
libraries?
Would it destroy the shared libraries too?
And what about the --strip-all? Can I run that on the shared
libraries?

Best regards,

Tijnema

ps. Somebody knows more options to save disk space, but
still keeping
a working system?

I don't know, but back them up before you try it.

Deleting man/info pages? Using busybox? Replace vim with a
smaller vi
(elvis, nvi, take your pick)? Remove perl?

I did
Using busybox?
Thanks, didn't know it existed, i think i will give it a
try
Replace vim with a smaller vi (elvis, nvi, take your pick)?
Hmm, i will take a look at the alternatives.
Remove perl?
Well, then it isn't a real working system anymore, a lot of
things use
perl these days.

Anyway, thanks for you fast reply

I can only think that if you had done just *one* google
search on
this question, you wouldn't have had to ask it here.

Please, do your research, you will learn so much more.

I did search on google, but couldn't find any usefull
information, i
only found information that it will destroy the static
libraries.

The Unix man page of strip provides a more precise
explanation than  
the linux strip man page.

Did you create the /etc/sysconfig directory first?

 There's no problem about building dhcp in chroot - dhclient
is one
of the (many) things I build on my desktop systems before
trying to
boot them, so that I have a chance of a useful system.
