In number of options the "infrastructure" options are at most 20% of the total. The other 80% are individual drivers, hardware (like network cards, serial devices, usb devices, video...) or software (crypto algorithms, partition formats, codepages, filesystems...). You're going to have a hard time slashing 90% of that. OG. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
