When I first compiled kernels for LRP, I used the EigerStein kernel as
my base. I later found that by NOT compiling modules, I could save
space.... let me explain.
If there is an item in the kernel configuration which is undesired,
but generates only modules: it still takes up space even though all of
the underlying items are modules. By removing the support altogether,
a great deal of space can be regained. QoS comes to mind, and Linux
Telephony.
If you leave in QoS support, even though everything is modules, it
still takes up space. If you disable QoS support, you gain a lot of
space. You can always shift kernels around and make multiple
configurations.
Anyway, the best thing for a router would be to create your own kernel
and remove kernel module support altogether - no more attacks from
things like knark.o....
