As a reminder, this isn't a contest in kernel size :)
Didn't mean to, I just put it there to state that 1.5 - 2.5 MB for a
GENERIC kernel is not appropriate anymore.
More useful would be if somebody would check GENERIC
on i386/amd64 for FAQ update.
Thanks Miroslav Lachman for the reply with the correct sizes for GENERIC
kernels.
Change FAQ 8.3 Why is my kernel so big?
Nowadays kernels are compiled in /debug mode by default/. Kernels built
in debug mode contain many symbols that are used for debugging, thus
greatly increasing the size of the kernel. Note that there will be
little or no performance decrease from running a debug kernel, and it is
useful in case of a system panic.
However....
