Making Custom Kernels

[David Baron <d_baron@012.net.il>]

I compile my own to dispense with initrd and use realtime-lsm, also a version 
with the real-time preemptive patch or ovz and such.

I am not making the kernel to be a universal package so I guess I really do 
not need all those modules, do I? I have already dispensed with OSS. I have a 
"normal" 10-T 8139 ethernet card. A few sound devices, and intel chipset with 
intel agpgart. I compile the proprietory nvidia driver. So.

Can I simply get rid of all the decnet, ieee stuff, isdn and such? I compile 
in what yaird -test says I need and what I found necessary for correct alsa 
loading, ext3fs, etc.
