Re:Download Size (Score 1)

Most distros come with some sort of vanilla or patched kernel tree and you can patch those to the latest kernel revision which requires a much smaller download (for example the bzip2'd patch for 2.6.7 -> 2.6.8 is only 3.5M) But you do have a point. It might be nice to just release a make config/menuconfig style kernel configurator which, after you selected your system specific options and drivers, downloads only those specific parts of the kernel that you selected. Maybe some menuconfig style sort of kernel configurator in which you set which downloads the parts of the source
