Kitchen sink in there too? ;) My current 2.6.32 laptop kernel: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1439312 Dec 3 16:44 vmlinuz-2.6.32-lizzie This is a pretty full featured config, for normal laptop use (e.g., includes webcam support (gspca), bluetooth, Intel graphics, iptables, etc.). OTOH, I prune very aggressively, and take out anything that I don't actually need.
