减小linux内核大小的配置选项

 

linux内核现在是越来越大,以前kernel+rootfs一张软盘都能放下,现在光放内核都不行了,

要减小linux内核的大小,可以通过Linux-tiny patches 补丁来实现,当然还有一些其他的配置选项,

Legend:

• "Y *" - Set to 'Y' for measurement during development, and set to 'N' for deployment.
• "N +" - Whether you can set this to 'N' depends on whether this feaure is needed by your applications.
• "Y -" - You probably need this, but it might we worth checking to see if you don't.
