    Only if you don't use those frequently.  My kernel has lots of things in
modules that I might use.  I don't know they will autoload properly, but it
is there just incase.  Floppy suport, v/fat support, iso9660 support, etc.
but 1Mb?  Nah.

    My kernel message is from my router/server/workstation machine.  My
laptop, for comparison, which is running 2.0.34 is:

Memory: 18864k/20480k (664k kernel code, 384k reserved, 568k data)
