@solgar8 I would say he did not reverse engineer it. He just stripped out a lot of stuff. Isn't that what the build system is for where you can deselect all the stuff you do not want?
Yeah, but I think he's talking about pruning the size of the source tree and not just the size of the compiled kernel. If he really wants to do something unique, he should null out all the printks.
@inclusivedisjunction Correct, I'm just doing this as a learning exercise. I use Linux in my everyday life and what better way to learn than to read through all the source code? I'm using the printks as a debugging tool right now since I stripped out the logging code as I really don't need that to boot the pc. I may add it back in later.

Reverse engineering? Why do so if source code is open?
