Stripping the kernel is not wery smart. By doing this you makes it impossible
for the ps, wmstat and the w command (and more, I dont remember them all)
to find the user & proc structures inside the kernel image. This means they 
will fail. My Xenix file is 324002 bytes long and I have all multiscreens
enabled by default.
