Compiling the Kernel

[Dororthy over the RGB]

Hi people,

First I tried make oldconfig. It does not look great because the options from 
the original /boot/config are not maintained (i.e. the options for the ATA100 
Promise chipset go MIA). So, I rather used: 

cd /usr/src/linux
make mrproper
cp /boot/config .config
make menuconfig
[ saved it with no modifications ]
make dep
make clean
make vmlinux

At that point:

/boot/vmlinux-2.4.20-8d --> 3706347 bytes
/usr/src/linux/vmlinux --> 3701747 bytes

Unexpected difference? diff /boot/config .config returns:

< CONFIG_DRM=y

Am I missing a point somewhere?

Do I want DRI? My Mac does not have an AGP slot. I 'm using a PCI ATI Rage 
128. Currently, in XF86Config, Load DRI is commented out.

TIA.
