Thanks Truong, I am using that page.
What I would like to know is how much I can safely disable in the kernel.
Does anyone have a list of what most VM images don't need?
For example, it seems that most hardware support can go, and most filesystem support that isn't needed.
I would like to build a s small a kernel as possible that will still function securely.

Thanks
Mike

I think this could be what you need now:
