That is a good point, that was the size after compiling, but needless to say, my directory after compiling is: $ du -sc linux-2.2.14/ 111M linux-2.2.14 111M total I left a lot of stuff as modules that I don't need at the moment, because I tend to trade alot of hardware out this this particular system, and I don't want to have to recompile every time. I would guess that would probably have alot to do with it. Brian Cluff ----- Original Message ----- > is the current kernel that big BEFORE compiling???
