I did my first new kernel today and it worked. What I don't understand is why it is taking the same amount of memory as the previous one. When I do dmesg the amount of available memory are the same as with the previous kernel. The parts that I commented were mostly HD controllers and ethernet cards. Wasn't that supposed to reduce the amount of memory in use? I am also confused about: >machine "i386" >cpu "I386_CPU" >cpu "I486_CPU" >cpu "I586_CPU" The explanation in LINT mentions that the machine specifies the cpu one is compiling for. Can I change "i386" to "i486"?
