- I don't think that is good idea --- many MiNT-users don't need the
- (net-)extensions and the kernel would be bigger as needed.
-
- I prefer the opposite way --- remove more things from the kernel to
- drivers, the 'fasttext'-device for example (I never use it and it is
- not present in my kernel). That makes the kernel smaller and you
- don't need to keep different versions of the kernel.
