Dare I suggest to have dokern.sh remove: options DEC_KN8AE # AlphaServer 8200/8400 (Turbolaser) device rl # RealTek 8129/8139 device vr # VIA Rhine, Rhine II device wx # Intel Gigabit Ethernet Card (``Wiseman'') And add back in: - Multia/Noname - EB64 General idea behind this: - have as much machine model support as possible at the expense of (esoteric?) adapters - keep floppy support for machines most likely to be installed from floppy and remove from the floppy kernel those machines least likely to be floppy installed. - keep those ethernet adapters most often found in Alphas. Note: I have not checked whether this will make it fit in 1.44 MB again.
