[ds10025 at hermes.cam.ac.uk]

Hi

I'm putting together a small deskless cluster. I need to complie a basic
kernel to fit onto 1.44MB disk. I have found information in doing this my
using make xconfig.

What I want to found what is the basic modules or programs require for the
kernel?

Are they step by step information to complie a kernel for NFS system.

Regards

Dan
