Well, 200 meg has been pretty tight and rather small for a couple
versions now. My 194 meg / partition set up in 3-CURRENT days is
pretty tight these days 8-}
rm'ing away all the .symbols files from the kernel dir did the trick
for me, though (I did have to do it in another terminal while
`installkernel` was running to get it to complete... there's probably
a flag I can pass to make):
