Did you already run strip on your production binary?

It depends on what you are using. My guess is that the average
implementation wouldn't need curl or psql for example so you could do
without them, if you don't use selinux or xattr then you could also
disable those. I'm not sure how much it would reduce the file size for
you though.

	Hi,
	 
	I am trying to fit my database, config, and the aide binary on a
floppy disk. What are some options I can pass to ./configure to
significantly cut the size of the binary? If I lose about 150kB, I will
be able to fit my gzipped database on the disk. 
	 
	Also, a side question: is there a safe way to automate aide
checks for a single system? A cron job does not seem like a good idea.
	 
	Thanks,
	Wes
