    Hi...

    I am in the middle of building a new kernel (2.4.20) and this is my
    first attempt. I have got as far as configuring it with 'make xconfig' ,
    followed by 'make dep', 'make clean' and 'make bzImage'.

    So far so good, but I did get these messages after the the kernel image
    was created :

    ......

    Root device is (3,3)
    Boot sector is 512 bytes
    Setup is 4667 bytes
    System is 1028 Kb
    warning : kernel is too big for standalone boot from floppy.
    .......

    What does that signify ? Have I chosen too many modules and options during
    the config process ? Is that kernel image alarmingly huge and do I need to
    redo the whole thing ? Or can I proceed with the install ?

    Thanks for your time,

    Ashish Samant.
