Damn, totaly forgot what I would write :) You may also have a loog at # make localmodconfig Great tool. Should be added to handbook. :) I think my work is almost done. The kernel has 2.7MB, and I've removed all obvious unnecessary choices, just reading the 'help' from 'make menuconfig'. It

Is there any tool that can scan my pc and help me out with the .conf or even generate one? I guess not. There are lots of options that I have no idea what they are for. I think this will be the fun part, but I think I can't get a running kernel before I optimize it, so I can do it gradually.

Well, thank you for your help. I had some problems, like no bootable system or no network, but I could solve it and things are working pretty well pretty. The compilation time is really small after I removed these modules, but I think it should be smaller: apparently the 'make make modules

Hi list. I've been using Gentoo for quite a long time, and today I decided to try compiling the kernel myself, Thing I've never done before. I want a smaller kernel, a faster boot (without initramfs) and, of course, some fun :). I'm still reading the oficial documentation, but I don't think it

Hi there, I'd definitely advise to you use one of Pappy's Kernel seed. Those are config files that provide you with a good starting point to configure your own kernel. You'll find the Kernel seeds at http://kernel-seeds.org/ The website also has instructions on how to find out which Kernel
