Subject:   HUGE kernel built from 3.2 CDRom

One of the machines in my networking lab has three Ethernet cards in it.
This seems to require a rebuild of the kernel. I edited GENERIC and added
ed1 and ed2 right after ed0. The kernel built fine, and it works ok, but it
is almost 11 MB, whereas the GENERIC kernel is 2,329,748 bytes. So I ran
strip on the new kernel, and that made it small allright, 2017520 bytes. It
still works ok, but dmesg doesn't work with it, and I forgot to try ps, but
I'll bet that it doesn't work, either. Is there something like a partial
strip that I need to do? My root filesystem is getting crowded.

Thanks

If there is one word to describe me,
that word would have to be "profectionist".
