Hi Folks,
I'm trying to build a modest linux-2.6.28.7 kernel for a VIA C3 based
router/firewall which will boot from CF-card.
I've removed everything I can think of that is superfluous for my
application, things like virtualization, various things to support SMP,
almost all debug options, etc. I've only left the IPV4 networking,
netfilter, QoS, a bit of USB support, etc.
Still the kernel (bzImage) is 12MB large. gah. On my Fedora10 system the
kernel is 2.5MB large. A 12MB kernel isn't the end of the world, but it
just seems too large.
I would be grateful if someone could have a look at my config-file and
possibly offer an explanation. The config file is here:

cheers,
