Subject: Reducing memory footprint for embedded linux

Hi,
I am reducing the memory usage of vmlinux used in embedded
system ( I am using Montavista Hardhat linux 2.4.2 kernel) .
I am able to reduce some by allocating lesser memory to caches
(page_cache, buffer cache etc.. )
What all other areas I can look for reducing the memory usage.

Please cc me as I am not subscribed to list

Thanks
sanjay

Do you need the 2.4 kernel in the first place? What architecture you want to
run on?
