Most any reasonable linux platform can compile a new kernel in no time...and generally, you're better off doing so rather than using a RAM wasting kitchen sink kernel from some distribution. My first Linux box did make zImage in about 3 hours...my latest has it down to about 7 minutes. Either way, it's time well spent. At worst, this should be a config option so people who know how to keep their config files don't have to waste the RAM. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Jon Lewis <jlewis@fdt.net> | Unsolicited commercial e-mail will Network Administrator | be proof-read for $199/hr. ________Finger jlewis@inorganic5.fdt.net for PGP public key_______ | |||||||||
