I just came from a meeting of the University UNIX User's Group and one
of the thigs AT&T presented there was an overview of SysV R4.0
and 4.1.  They said that the kernel size had not increased
significantly on the 3B2 from R3.2 and it would run with no major
performance problems in a 4 MB machine.  The nice thing about R4.0 is
many of the new features are optional.  If you don't want them, don't
link them into the kernel.
