Use modules. If you're using `make menuconfig', type M at the more esoteric drivers. Make sure you have enough features to get booted up and reading your root partition - don't make things like your default HD interface (IDE, SCSI) into modules - but do so for most other things, like PPP and parallel port interfaces and so on. > What is the maximum size of the kernel? Is possible to increase this size? No idea, and I doubt it. Isn't it a LILO problem? -- alisdair mcdiarmid [everything is plastic and we're all going to die]
