Not to start a flame war or anything, but this doing it the debian way (which isn't so hard) means that my kernel is optimized EXACTLY for my hardware. I'm looking at switching to gentoo linux at the moment (a distribution where everything is meant to be compiled from scratch) becuase apparently the speed increase (read this on slashdot) you get from compiling everything for your particular hardware is significant. Show me an out of the box Mandrake kernel that comes in at under 300kb and is totally optimized for your hardware.

Chris.
