Sorry for the bad pun in the subject, but I do believe I have a working
1.44meg LRP 2.9.8 image running kernel 2.4.1. It boots. It runs. Modules
load in a mostly correct order. (I think.) And there's about 75k of free
space, with ALL* of the modules for IPTables support included.

* I didn't compile this with Experimental options, so it doesn't include
the Unclean and Owner modules.

I had to use some trickery to get this down to an acceptable size; namely,
I used UPX on the kernel to bring it from 530k to 475k. The iptables.o and
conntrack.o modules - labelled "REQUIRED for nat/masq/filter" - are
compiled into the kernel. I do have a non-UPX'd kernel as well, but it
gets to be a tight fit - 20k free on the disk. This of course doesn't mean
too much, as of late the standard has been to use 1.68M disks.

At any rate, expect the kernel tarball with a .config, upx and non-upx
kernel, and accompanying modules as well as two disk images up on my page
by 6am EST.

Someone PLEASE test this. Make sure stuff isn't broken. I've got this
sneaking suspicion that I'm missing something. Thanks!
