I dont understand exactly why do you have to recompile, unless a new
future is needed, like SMP, isnt it?, what harm is doing those extra megs?
In the general case, no, you do not need to recompile.. Those extra
megs aren't doing any harm... (besides taking up memory)..
I recompile because I'm both familar with the kernel (if I break
anything, I can clean it up) , and the extra size of the kernel means
that I loose that much memory to running programs...
That sounds like a valid reason to me, so if you have little memory you
should try learn what options you don't need and recompile your kernel
without them, if, like in my case, memory is not a big constraint, you
better stay with generic, unless recompile is _really_ nedded.
All is clearer for me now,
thanks
