[tlug] newly compiled bigger than default RH installed kernel

["Jean-Christian Imbeault" <jean_christian@example.com>]

I wanted to try my hand at compiling a new RH 7.2 kernel. I read a followed 
the how-to instructions and thinks seem to have gone well. (I didn't 
download anything new. I just wanted to try and make a smaller kernel).

However when I compare the size of the new kernel vs the original (form a 
basic RH install) it is almost twice as big. I used "make config" for the 
configuration tool and all I did was remove option or make then loadable 
modules.

I tough the template I started with was the current kernel's config file no? 
If so how could I make a bigger kernel by removing modules?
