Create custom boot CD (bf24)

["Michael Bellears" <MBellears@staff.datafx.com.au>]

I'm attempting to create a bf24 CD, with 2.4.25 kern (Initially starting
with default bf24 kernel config), but I cannot get my kernel image small
enough.

I'm following the following howto:

http://www.net-track.ch/resources/aic79xx.php

/usr/src# cp linux-2.4.25/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /mnt/linux.bin 
cp: writing `/mnt/linux.bin': No space left on device

Original linux.bin is 1314816
The smallest I have gotten my bzImage to is 1432206 (I have removed all
unnecessary stuff (I think!))

Does anyone have a minimal .config file that will work with bf24? 

The only extra functionality I require is:

<*> Compaq Smart Array 5xxx
And
<*> EtherExpressPro/100 support (e100, Alternate Intel driver)

Would I be better off trying an earlier kernel to reduce the size (It
would have to be 2.4.21+ as I need support for the Smart Array 6400)
