+*** build a smaller kernel
+
+As an optional step, you can build a smaller kernel. The distributed
+kernel is quite large, because it includes a great many device
+drivers. If you fetch the gnumach distribution, you can build a
+kernel with only the device drivers you actually need. This will make
+bootstrapping faster, and also take less memory when the system is
+running, and result in a faster system in general.
+
+
Once you've completed these steps, you can reboot the system multi
user. Enjoy!
