I have compiled kernel 2.6.35 but there is huge difference in size
between 2.6.35.6-45.fc14.i686 (fedora core 14 ) and compiled one
I am using same configuration file as fc14 uses

following details show difference in size


[Anil@localhost linux-2.6.35]$ du -h
/lib/modules/2.6.35.6-45.fc14.i686/kernel/drivers/video/backlight/lcd.ko
8.0K /lib/modules/2.6.35.6-45.fc14.i686/kernel/drivers/video/backlight/lcd.ko
[Anil@localhost linux-2.6.35]$ du -h
/lib/modules/2.6.35/kernel/drivers/video/backlight/lcd.ko
160K /lib/modules/2.6.35/kernel/drivers/video/backlight/lcd.ko
[Anil@localhost linux-2.6.35]$
