All,

I like to reduce the kernel size and boot fast (may be 5-10 Mb kernel size)
& boots up in 15 seconds.

I measured, in the current default installation (FC10) the bootup time is
around 45seconds and size is 50mb.

I did compiling and removed the unnecessary hardware modules. Still I am
seeling slight changes. May be I have removed the little.

You can get kernels as small as 400KB with minimal modules. See
http://leaf.sourceforge.net/ as an example. These boot up quick.
