Hey - 700K is normal, unless you are making a kernel for a boot-floppy.

Usual redhat or mandrake kernels are about 1.2M large.

Anyway, if you want to reduce the size of the kernel, try compiling cdrom,
floppy, usb, iso9660fs and other not-frequently-used stuff as modules.


Again, what is this kernel for? If not for a floppy - don't worry, 700K is
okay.
