   Kernel huge vs generic

   From: chris@mshome.net   
      
   Slackware current - VirtualBox 7.0.14   
      
   I normally use the huge kernel with no problems but the other day I   
   mistakenly downloaded the generic kernel, too, and noticed the   
   difference in size is only 2Mb. I was originally told the generic kernel   
   was better for memory consumption. The required initrd.gz unzips to 27Mb.   
      
   What is the/Is there a supposed advantage of generic + initrd over huge?   
      
   Cheers
