Hi all

I'm building a linux kernel 2.4.19 for router support. I'm getting an image size of 960KB. For my application i wish to reduced the size of my image further. With networking options enabled(for router support) how do I further reduce the size of my image. Please help. Thanx for your help and time in advance. I'd like to reduce the size of my image to around 800KB.

hi there

remove the support for other FS which u do not use
the graphics drivers sound drivers which u do not use
also remove support for NFS servers,smb servers if u do not want them

and other can be kernel debugging etc etc
