Hear hear. One of the very first things I did when setting up Moblin for use on the IVI system we developed was to create a custom .config that removed the extraneous fluff we had zero interest in supporting on our device, and then modified the kernel .spec file to _only_ build our configuration. Rebuilding the kernel N times may be fine once you have a "stable" baseline you wish to replicate, but during early development and tweaking it's just a time sink. - -Cory - -- Cory T.
