Same here at the moment - I'm still waiting for Makefile patches for XFree86 though, as soon as I get those I'll rebuild X. Here's a little bit more stuff: Without shared libraries: Braae:/%du -s /usr/sbin /usr/libexec/ /usr/bin 3391 /usr/sbin 5128 /usr/libexec/ 14712 /usr/bin Braae:/% With shared libraries: CsMSc1:/%du -s /usr/sbin /usr/libexec/ /usr/bin 1147 /usr/sbin 3812 /usr/libexec/ 6369 /usr/bin CsMSc1:/% No doubt similar comparisons on /usr/X386/bin will look more impressive. Once again - many thanks to Paul Kranenburg for his great work on his shared libraries implementation.
