Good thinking. My rule of thumb has been to compile-in everything that has to be present on every run and everything else as modules. It doesn't allow for the case you mention though. I think I prefer yours. (I once wanted to remove a module from the kernel for some reason, but it wouldn't unload. Being rash, I forced it, thereby completely wrecking the kernel and forcing a power cycle. So that time I might just as well have had whatever it was compiled in :-( .) -- Rgds Peter.
