I've got everything set, I believe.
My goal was to just cut things down... I want the basic support, keyboard 
and soundcard and networking, but I don't want all the digital camera 
drivers, etc etc etc.
Would someone mind checking out my .config and letting me know if I can cut 
any more off?


Thanks,
