In the kernel options menu, there are various sections that you can configure. Things like Processor Type & Features, Device Drivers, Networking Support, Cryptography, etc. The SCSI stuff lives in the Device Drivers section (along with other things like PCI and USB support), while the Cryptography section lists all of the ciphers that the kernel supports. You could probably slim down the Cryptography section by taking out either ciphers that may be dangerous to continue using because they've been proven to be ineffective, or at the very least, take out ciphers that QubesOS doesn't use in dom0. Problem is, I just don't know what Qubes uses. As for installing stuff to compile a kernel, that's why you do the kernel compilation in a Template VM, ideally one that matches the distro that's being used in dom0. That way, all the dependencies are installed in there and all you need to do is copy out the generated rpms into dom0 from the TemplateVM and just install those. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
