Kernel Size

[Jay Tarbox]

During Slackware 4 (Kernel 2.2.6) kernel compile I keep getting a "kernel
too big" error.  All I did was take items out from the default - I didn't
add a thing.  Why can the default installed kernel have a bigger kernel that
I can?  This is really irritating me.  I've got it down to 551kb and it
still gives me the stinking error.... Any help out there?
