Just some ideas what else to disable from your config: CONFIG_DEFAULT_kmod-ledtrig-usbdev=y CONFIG_DEFAULT_kmod-usb-core=y CONFIG_DEFAULT_kmod-usb2=y also as dependency: CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-lib-crc-ccitt=y If you don't need USB you could disable this. Removing all the USB modules should give you at least 50k+ CONFIG_DEFAULT_ppp=y CONFIG_DEFAULT_ppp-mod-pppoe=y CONFIG_PACKAGE_luci-proto-ppp=y There is a dependency from Luci on PPP last time I lookeed, you could probably patch that out. CONFIG_TARGET_ROOTFS_SQUASHFS=y CONFIG_TARGET_SQUASHFS_BLOCK_SIZE=256 You could try setting the blocksize to 1024 - this should make a noticeable difference as squashfs can compress better. # CONFIG_STRIP_KERNEL_EXPORTS is not set If you don't need to install modules later via opkg you try this option. However this might break something, might work through. This gives a noticeable gain +100kb IIRC. CONFIG_PACKAGE_MAC80211_MESH=y if you don't use 802.11s disabling this option also gives you a few kbytes. CONFIG_PACKAGE_wpad-mini=y If you don't need WPA/WPA2 you could also skip this. CONFIG_PACKAGE_opkg=y If you never plan to use opkg on these routers you can skip it. Beyond that it's getting more tricky, you could look into disabling stuff from busybox but often scripts in base-files depend on it. If you only ever need support for these devices you could poke around https://git.lede-project.org/?p=source.git;a=blob;f=target/linux/ar71xx/config-4.4;h=f81a74c0c4ee33598e993cef3cb6586ef22f50c8;hb=HEAD the ar711x config-4.4 files and disable support and drivers for other routers, but this brings little gain for the effort - expect not more than 50kbyte. regards Martin _______________________________________________ Lede-dev mailing list Lede-dev@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/lede-dev
