8 Mbytes is a little unfair, wouldn't U say? If you want to run with very
small memory, all older versions of the kernel are available.

Is it really this bad with 32/64/128/256 megs? Anyone have a 128 Meg
machine that they can try a "make -j bzImage" on with both kernels? I'm
interested in those results.
