Is the size remains same ??? Because most of the Debugging Symbols are already activated (Y), and the size Sven mentioned 7-times bigger I don't think its just due to debugging symbols !!! the debugging symbols just adds some printks and some debugging code not that much code ... So plzz first try to compile the FC4 kernel with the distribution ..... and watch for the size difference ..... -- Fawad Lateef -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
