The kernel source and header rpm's, about 20 mb. The reason I do
this is just so I can remember just where I archive them, and you
can do an install, without touching the /boot dir. Actually there's
no reason to compile a Mandrake kernel from source except to patch
in some special module(s). I overclock to the hilt, and use to use
lm_sensors. Those modules need to be compiled against the (running)
kernel source. Since I got in the habit of making /boot 40 mb,
I've found a better system monitor that doesn't need lm_sensors
(specially since lm_sensors doc's really sux).
Biggest mistake is to try and compile a non-Mandrake patched
kernel (eg, from kernel.org) and use it with Mandrake :)
