Hello,

Our router simulation project is moving forward. Right now I'm thinking about how to get the smallest possible kernel for domU. I really need it to consume almost no memory at all...

The only thing that will be used inside domU is quagga/zebra routing daemon and sometimes dhttp.

Maybe I should go for a 2.4 kernel? Would it be possible to run a 2.4 kernel inside domU? I suppose a 2.6 won't at least use _less_ memory than a 2.4?

Best regards
Rickard Borgmäster
