Cut out all the modules/drivers you don't need and you'll have a pretty close to minimal 2.6.x kernel.
The smallest kernel you can get is two megs and change, so there's no point obsessing; you won't make it significantly smaller or measurably faster. Besides, some "fluff" you can get rid of are things you actually want. Trust me, you'll be kicking yourself if you leave out /proc/config.gz support.

YAP(1) General Commands Manual YAP(1)
NAME
yap - prolog interpreter and compiler
SYNOPSIS
yap [options] filename
DESCRIPTION
yap is a prolog interpreter and compiler.
In its basic form, yap starts an interactive Prolog interpreter. When restoring a saved state, yap will allocate the same amount of memory
as that in use when the state was saved, unless a different amount is specified by flags in the command line. By default, yap restores the
file startup from the current directory or from the yap library.
See the yap manual for how to use yap for writing Prolog scripts.
OPTIONS
-? Print a short error message.
-s n Allocate n K bytes for local and global stacks.
-h n Allocate n K bytes for heap and auxiliary stacks
-t n Allocate n K bytes for the trail stack
-l yap-file
Compile the Prolog file yap-file before entering the top-level.
-L yap-file
Compile the Prolog file yap-file and then halt. This option is useful for implementing scripts.
-g goal
run the goal goal before top-level. The goal is converted from an atom to a Prolog term.
-z goal
run the goal goal as top-level. The goal is converted from an atom to a Prolog term.
-b boot-file
Boot code is in Prolog file boot-file. The filename must define the predicate '$live'/0.
-c ip-host port
Connect standard streams to host ip-host at port port.
filename
Restore state saved in the given file.
-- Separator for arguments to Prolog code. These arguments are visible through the unix/1 built-in.
ENVIRONMENT
YAPBINDIR
Yap usually boots from a saved state. The saved state will use the default installation directory to search for the YAP binary
unless you define the environment variable YAPBINDIR.
YAPLIBDIR
Yap always tries to find saved states from the current directory first. If it cannot it will use the environment variable YAPLIBDIR,
if defined, or search the default library directory.
YAPSHAREDIR
Yap will try to find library files from the YAPSHAREDIR/library directory.
SEE ALSO
The YAP manual is on a debian system available through the info system (command info yap), and as a html document through the debian help
system.
