My reason for building my own kernels: getting rid of all that bloat that's compiled as modules. Plus, having drivers required for booting built-in, obviating the need for initrd. Main reason: the sarge installer (dated 9 Aug) saddled me with a root fs size of 150 MB. Modules size per kernel: 40 MB. Go figure. Like it or not: tailoring your kernel for size is a must at this state of affairs. If you don't offer full custom partitioning in the sarge installer anymore, get the default partition sizes right at least. Michael
