The hard way : Compile your kernel, using only the drivers that you need.
As a rule : You kernel should be able to boot you into the system even if there is no initrd, and there are no modules installed. i.e. remove all useless stuff, and include all the stuff that you need (filesystems, keryboard, display) in-built, not modules.

Hi Archers,
I have a question about the new Udev that is available. In the
wiki-article it is written, that you can use the auto-loading function
of udev for your modules or you can write the needed modules in the
MODULES-array. So what should I use? And what about the kernel: Should I
compile a kernel using only static drivers or should I compile only the
important drivers static and the others as modules or should I use the
new technique of initrd images and having everything as an module? What
is the better way?
