Looks like a consistent ~40% bloat to me ;)  

Configs (grep = .config) up on <http://bugsplatter.mine.nu/test/>, very 
similar configs as I dual boot 2.4 / 2.6 for testing.  NICs and vfst/ntfs 
as modules on boxen dual-boot 'doze/linux.

2.6 boots but no longer works properly on box deltree since last couple 
releases, I have no desire to take the firewall box down to discover why 
2.6 no longer does networking like it used to.  2.6 leaving old hardware 
behind, who cares?  Is why I stay with 2.4 on older hardware.

[1] fails to boot, locks up just after lilo, too early in boot to gain 
any clues at all :(  IBM 365X early model, usually runs win98, an orphan?
