Hallo. First of all, this is wrong list to post such questions. Try to search kernel-newbie one or something like that.

IMHO it's not such a long period of time to become a fair *user* of it, i.e to think about hardware limits, rather than user limits. > I would like to know, how much memory(minimum memory) does a bare > kernel(2.4) takes, which can boot on an X86 processor based desktop > computer.Intention is to know about the size of the kernel(2.4) with a least > possible memory.Requirement is, the kernel should boot, no need to perform > any other actions.How can I find out this. can any one help me? If you want to boot a PC, this matter of taste: there is a zoo of shiny-tiny distros to start with, old versions may provide 2.4 kernel as well. And my estimation of the kernel size is 2-4 MB. It depends mainly on how many things you will complile in the kernel, rather than what kernel version is. > Thanks & Regards, > Vishnu Charan > ____ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
