This is why I miss RedHat. I don't want to spend my time customizing
a kernel then spending more time with trial and error getting just the
kernel I need. RedHat has a system in place that installs a minimal
kernal and then loads almost everything else as modules. Genkernel almost
does what I want but it is always a struggle. The base system always
loads all the different disk drivers and does not unload the unused ones.
Absence of autounloading is not a property of gentoo, but of recent kernels.
Somewhere along Linux people decided that unloading unused modules is not
that useful :(
Am I right, actually ?
I really don't see the point of going to that much trouble to save a few
Kbs of RAM
