hey everyone,
i tried to search for tutorials and online books on how to tweak the linux kernel because i am really disappointed with the performance of FC3, boot time is too long and the system is slow in responding to actions, also it takes up too much memory space (about 110 mbs).. does anyone have a tutorial or books to teach me how to remove unused modules and recompile the kernel, also how to tweak my FC3 system and etc... (please dont ask me to remove services to decrease boot time because i already did and its still to slow)..
thanks for the help..
ps: im a beginner and have 0 knowledge about kernel compiling and all that stuff..

Before you dive off the deep end, do the following:

[1] boot into run level 3 - no X, login as root and run the following commands, "free > f1", "ps -ef > f2", and "lsmod > f3". Post the results (f1, f2, f3) here. Maybe we'll have something to discuss.

On my box, free shows that the kernel + all the apps I'm running take 12MB; a long way from 110MB. Of course after starting X and KDE things go downhill rapidly <grin>.

Regards,

John
