Oh, and while one is in there building a new kernel, its a good time to comment out stuff you never use. Such as all the extra ethernet interfaces, oddball CDROMs, etc. Be careful when deleting stuff as its not always wise to delete something simply because you don't know what it is. config(8) may or may not notice when something that is not really optional is missing. By deleting unused stuff my kernel is down from 2329642 to 1785177 bytes. Doubt if thats meaningful with 128MB of RAM. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
