RE: [Plug] Kernel recompile...


I'm actually in the middle of reconfiguring my system (moving from RH5.1 to 
Debian 2.1), but when I was playing with kernel mods my sizes were about 
what you're reporting.  Here are the kernel sizes from my old RH config:

-rw-r--r--   1 root     root       425504 Sep 14  1998 vmlinuz-2.0.33-PP
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root       444446 May  8  1998 vmlinuz-2.0.34-0.6
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root       485189 Jan 27 19:07 vmlinuz-2.2.0 

I have 128M, an old Matrox Mystique, AWE32 and an SMC EtherEZ card.

How big in a average sized kernel??
I am running RH6.0, and trying to do a kernel recompile, to solve another
problem (but that's another email :) ) and I have almost everything either
excluded, or moduled (under menuconfig), and still make zImage tells me it 
is
too big, to use bzImage.  Finally, I get it down to 479K, after excluding 
some
things that were suggested to be included, zImage worked, but trying to run 
make
zlilo to install, zlilo says it's too big again...
so how large should a kernel be?  I have an absolutely minimal config..
for reference...
96 megs
NCR SCSI W/F
Matrox Millenium
3com Vortex (905? I can;t remember right now)
SB AWE 64
USR 56k
No dos, no dual boot
mount points are (nod to the conversation, I just decided to use them 
all...  :>
)
/    1G   /sda3
/boot     300M /sda1
/usr 1G   /sda4
/swap     200M /sda2
/var 1G   /sdb2
/home     2G   /sdb1
/tmp 1G   /sdb3
/storage2G     /sdb4


I don't think all of this information is needed, but...JIC
Peace,
Vale
