To be honest, I have never tried.

There was a time back in 1999 when made 'shrimp' kernels to save space
by eliminating all the drivers I thought I didn't need.  Things seemed
to be going ok for several weeks with it, till I crashed the kernel
somehow.  I was very puzzled, but had the presence of mind to build a
stock generic kernel and see if that worked, before talking about it
on m...@.  The generic kernel worked flawlessly, doing everything ok
when the shrimp kernel worked.  Oops.

That taught me several things, being twiddling knobs (taking drivers
from the kernel surely constitues that) blindly can lead to interesting
consequences down the line, and that making the shrimp kernel was 
mostly a waste of time, except for the educational aspects of what not
to do.
