Building kernel from scratch

[O'Neill, Donald (US - Deerfield)]

This has already been done. I wouldn't Fedora for this purpose anyways.
Checkout DistroWatch. They have multiple listings for firewall/router
distro's which already have been hardened/optimized for network
traffic...

Subject: Building kernel from scratch 


Ok so I want to create a router with as little amount of space used up
as posible including PPTD and Firewall.
 
I've got a sneaking suspision that when you install FC1 even if you use
the custom options lots of unwanted programs get compiled into the
kernel. Is it posible to cutdown the amount of unwanted programs which a
compiled to kind of like streamline the kernel.
 
Once you have stream lined the kernel who do you create like a boot
partion to boot the kernel?
 
Or am I completly on the wrong track and need shooting?
 
Regards,
 
Phil
