    Great to hear! Though I will admit that it took me HOURS of reading the kernel config options I was disabling. But it was also very informative so it didn’t feel like a waste of time at all.

      I usually run some commands while running the binary kernel that will disable every module not currently running in the config file, and then build the kernel from that.

      I’m guessing you prefer building everything as a module if your kernel is that small?
