The excellent place to start with is... http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/ (nice description of kernel configuration) :-) Hi, I am trying to squeeze every ounce of performance out of a dual P233 system. I've compiled a custom kernel, but that mostly involved removing support for everything but 586 CPU's, adding SMP support, and removing all the drivers for ethernet cards I don't have. If I'm correct, at least in theory, every device or option that I don't use or that isn't needed in my kernel config could be removed to make the kernel smaller and more efficient, correct? What are some things that can be removed from most common kernels to help? Are there any good urls I should read up on how to configure a kernel to really wring out a machine? (If there isn't, would anyone object to me writing one based on what I learn?) Thanks for any assistance you can offer.
