    hello everybody,

    i am new to kernel programming.
    i am developing a compression/decompression
    functionality in the ip layer.

    i want to compile the kernel faster.

     it would
    be ok if the kernel doesn't have support for sound
    devices, or other devices like scsi,usb etc. because
    i would be using the compiled kernel for
    network data compression only.

    how could i do that. which source files and where in
    the makefiles do i make modifications ????

    thanks for any suggestions

    kamal
