vm.overcommit_memory = 1
kernel.shmmax = 1073741824

BTW, if you check your startup files, /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit in particular, you'll
find that it contains something like: sysctl -e -p /etc/sysctl.conf, which is just a fancy way of doing the recommended "echo" commands. No linking necessary
for you. For me, it was a bit different. I have a wirelss lan linked into the kernel,
CISCO VPN, NVIDIA driver, OSS drivers for my soundcard and a few other tweaks to throw
out all those modules. As I said, my kernel is 2.4.20. I had to link it myself.
