Subject: Problems with to large of a kernel
>Having just started messing around with the 2.1.x kernels with the imminent

kernel
>configuration and it wouldn't compile, the kernel size was to large for a

>So, I remove the directory where I was working and untar a fresh copy. make

>zImage. Too large.
