2.6MB unzipped, but SILO complained about it being too big

Just the usual drivers required for this machine, and most of the
netfilter stuff compiled in. I'm going to change most of the netfilter
stuff to modules now.

I tried both, same error.

I might try doing it manually rather than using make-kpkg this time.

http://www.ultralinux.org/faq.html#q_4_8 says to use "make vmlinux"
is that still valid for 2.4?
