Up until the end of the 2.6 era or so, the #Linux kernel had relatively few options to set. You could reasonably go through the configurator and set up a fine-tuned build for your machine in half an hour or so. This 2.2.5 kernel from Debian Slink has only 324 options, and the tree takes up a bit over 50 megs of disk space.
