Large ramdisks, kernel memory space issue

2005-04-15 Thread salman h
Hi All, I'm using a slightly modified Debian kernel along with PXELinux to boot a machine over the network. My kernel's memory footprint is quite large (400 megs) because it pre-allocates memory for some processes (in the interest of speedier process execution). My ramdisk size is about 500 me
