Slightly. However, just as with 2.2, with judicious use of eliminating
features and using UPX to compress, things get down within the
under-500k range or even better.

Stateful firewalling seems to be more in demand than I would have ever
thought. However, 2.4 does introduce better support for things like
USB, PCMCIA, and ReiserFS as I understand it; it also has a faster
TCP/IP stack, and a static web page server in kernel space.
I'm likely to spend more time on upgrading to glibc 2.2 and ncurses 5.
I'd not considered that Openwall wouldn't be available for 2.4 - I may
wait for it, I may not.
