That's not going to get any smaller. The actual kernel images are around 16MB each, and there's only 4 of them. (i586/i586-smp/i686/i686-smp) We're actually shipping *less* kernel RPMs than FC1. - No Athlon build - No 386 build - No bigmem build - No debug build (though this will change for the final FC2) I'm not sure we can actually trim it any further without losing functionality that some folks may want, or punishing low-end users. We could lose the UP 586 build, and only ship the 586-smp kernel, which should run fine, but at a slight performance loss. Frankly, to save 16MB I don't think its worth it. Dave
