Hi All,

After installing Linux a month ago I finally decided to brave the process of 
rebuilding my kernel to get it "just right." My current, original 
(Slackware-IDECD2) kernel reads about 430k when viewed as a file in my shell. 
When it loads I get a line "big kernel, just under 1MB" or something like 
that. I figured that I would recompile it removing unnecessary SCSI support 
but adding sound support. All went well but I ended up with a kernel that 
weighed in at 720K!!! LILO would not load it saying that it was too big. Any 
hints for a kernel weight reduction program. Dietary restrictions combined 
with exercise? How do you get lean and mean but with all the support you need? 
What components are notorious memory hogs?

thanks a lot.
