I to would like to find out what if any patches are made to the kernel.
I think the reason for the size difference is the kernel image. What
command did you use to create the kernel ifile? Did you use >make
bzimage? This will compress it down in size so it will fit on a floppy.
If some one knows about any kernel patches Mandrake does or what kernel
do they use (AC patches etc.), Please let me know...

Subject: [expert] Kernel config file
Does anyone have the .config file used by Mandrake or something similar
that
closely resembles their kernels? I tried to compile my own kernel and
it
came out to about 2MB compared to 700k-800k for mandrake kernels. I
though I
already disabled most of the stuff that I don't need but I guess not :)
Really puzzles me how those 700k/800k kernels has so much drivers in it.
Thanks.
