Hi folks.
I've been working on building a snapshot of 1.5.3 for testing, but I've
run into the perennial space problems on the boot floppy. More severe
than I expected, even, so I've had to do some trimming.
It seems that the most likely candidates for ditching are some of the
network drivers since there's always the on-board ethernet...
Is there anyone who will be personally affected (or know someone who
would be personally affected) by the install kernel lacking support
for:
epic* SMC EPIC/100 Ethernet
fxp* Intel EtherExpress PRO 10+/100B Ethernet
rtk* Realtek 8129/8139 Ethernet
sip* SiS 900/7016 / NS83815 Ethernet
? It also appears that MSDOSFS is enabled in the install kernel.
Anyone know why that might be the case? I can't think when it might be
necessary.
Thanks,
-allen
