Yes, you can strip the needless features from it. Check out this page for help: http://www.linuxnewbie.org/nhf/intel/compiling/kernelcomp.html In addition to the commands used on that page, you can try: "bzlilo" - another automated lilo updater. "make install" - moves bvImage and System.Map and updates lilo. "make bzdisk" - makes bootfloppy for new kernel. Good Luck.
