Because you might now want to load it at boot so you leave
it as a module. When it's needed it is loaded - in some
cases automatically if I remember correctly.

on a recent thread, someone explained how to get your

they then went on to explain how to set it up so that
your kernel can
either (a) compile this stuff in, or (b) compile them as
modules and
load them automatically.
so my question then is: why compile something as a
module if you're
going to load it into the kernel at boot anyway? what
are the
(dis)advantages?
thanks
