 I'm dubious that the kernel can be built in 310MB.  I was in the
middle of measuring some alternative configs when you put this in.
Using 'allnoconfig' with a few extra options to make something that
might have a chance of booting (ext2, ext3, a nic) I got the
following figures from du -sk:

the linux-2.6.22.2 tree after building  339680 (KB)
 the bzImage                              1112
 System.map                                336
 .config                                    20
 Documentation                           10856
  giving a total of 352004 KB or 343.75 MB.

 Similarly, when building the headers, my linux-2.6.22.2 tree came
to 307260 KB and the dest directory (what we copy to /usr/include)
used a further 3548 KB.  In my terms that is 304.5M not the 286MB
I've already complained about.  My figures are on ext3 using the
default 4K page size.

 Conclusion - take the space figures with a very big pinch of salt.
