Thumbs up How To Shrink Kernel ?


Hi to all,
I want to ask one question ...
Right now I am working on Kernel Module Programming and Learning.
I want to shrink Kernel, means a Kernel with having minimum services and size.
For example, I do not want printing service in my kernel ...
Another example is say I do not want /proc filesystem module in my kernel ...
So my problem is how to modify the Kernel and how to make it running after modifying.
I am also googling in this regard but any good suggestion in this regard is appreciated.
Thanking in Advance ....
Waiting for Good Response ...
