-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Is there any utility to estimate/calculate the amount of memory when one builds new kernel ? Apparently some of the OPTIONS in the config file are optional, and if there is some information related to all those supported OPTIONS stored in a centrally managed file, then the kernel config program can always retrieve the relevant info from the file and work out how much memory is needed to run the new kernel. The same thing can be done with installation of the system, packages etc as they are already well broken down into a set of `modules' or `components'. Currently, when I say enable/disable a particular OPTION in the kernel config file, I have no idea about how much more memory is used or saved (in the kernel). -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2i iQCVAwUBMG82WkmThh0X7Um5AQHxpQQAn3KHOWMBqEMx5DopdYhA1UFgMWzWSV8J n3JD4grJpNXzPoSbH5nz7k9sNwArMc/As4aWeA3SqgdZuEj1DW2HJz0J7qyjWf44 nKwKDAdVie6wGVO1K3LQsFf3rL0nphMdXtHVEHJBXdtUNLauQKeNYSar6Hg3oCjp e5NrOOuEtB4= =1FZf -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
