Any idea. You can get the distro like http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/ which are around 50MB in size, but for kernel source you need a kernel compiled by your-self on USB from which you can boot along-with the source code of kernel (full code in extracted form is around 250MB AFAIR). Or other idea is use any distro which can be able to fit in 50MB like damn-small-linux and then install kernel-rpm and kernel-source-rpm_with_header_files_only of any other distro like from Fedora Core 4 (FC4) (keep in mind its 2.6.11 kernel) because by-default FC4 has source-rpm having only header-files (size is very small) so that you will be able to compile your module (not kernel) and I hope your linux-distro (damnsmalllinux), kernel-rpm with source-headers only will fit with-in 128MB but I am not 100% sure ! > Pl throw in some idea. > Write your mails in full words not in abbreviation like Pl ...
