First, if you've deleted the directories and the links, then you have to re-
install the rpm. If it's already installed, then un-install it, then re-install it.
BTW, rpm -ivh is preferable, I think, to rpm -i on installs.
To cut your kernel size, uncheck all the dozens or hundreds of NIC-
specific or protocol-specific or hardware-specific items that don't apply
to your box or network. Then if the kernel is still too big, see William's
advice to me: use make make bzImage instead of make zImage.
(BTW, William, if you are reading this, what is the replacement for make
boot, which I use? (make bboot?)
