Sorry to have aroused so much ire, folks! But try and see this a little bit from my perspective, if you will. I have seen this demon pop up in *every* release since 2.0, to be fought grudgingly back each time. The day will come when we run entirely out of options if we keep going on this way, but perhaps I can forestall that for just a little while longer with 2.1. I will try to implement a few of the suggestions that folks have sent me over the last few days for shrinking the kernel back below 1MB for 2.1. This should bring the 4MB folks back. I will not be anywhere near as sympathetic about this come 2.2 time, so I hope that the "small memory" advocates can get the all-singing, all-dancing dynamic load/unload device driver mechanism put together by then! :-) Jordan
