Hi,
The amount of memory is not your problem. I have built kernels on a 486-sx25 with only 4 MB RAM. It was slow, but it worked....
We'll need more info about the specific errors that you're getting and maybe more info about your configuration to have an idea what's happening.

Hello, list. I have a computer here which I have been trying to build a
custom kernel for, and thus far every time I have tried I get all sorts of
errors, and the compilation fails.
I've tried 2.2.18, and 2.4.0, and neither source would compile.
I have 32 MB, and a Linux swop, but I am wondering if that is enough memory
on this machine to successfully build a kernel.
I've built a 2.218 kernel a while back on another machine, and it went
through fine so I an wondering what could be causing the kernel to fail.

Hi Tom:
I've built kernels with 16MB of RAM with no trouble. That's not your
problem. But we'll need some more info on your problem before we can
diagnose it.
Tip: If you're running redhat 7.0, make sure to install kgcc to compile
the kernel.
Geoff.
