I've built letux-4.5 now; haven't yet tried to boot it.
I notice, though, that it appears to require lots more disk space when
installed on the GTA04, compared to 3.7 or 3.17. Specifically, the
/lib/modules/`uname -r` tree is now about 200Mb, whereas for 3.7 or 3.17
it was about 16Mb.
Is there something I can do to reduce that? Perhaps some global
stripping option? Or alternatively some big trimming of the CONFIG_*
settings?
Thanks,
Neil
