FYI, although this is somewhat popular and seen as a performance enhancement to many, it all it really ends up meaning that you have to reboot the computer to control the parameters of various parts of the kernel (kernel / module parameters are often equivelent). It also means you have all functionality all the time. This can be good if it's to prevent initrd usage, as desired, but can also mean a bigger memory footprint for stuff you never use. I mention this because I was always a big 'monolithic' fan in the past, but have found the middle ground to be better. Compile in what you use all the time, and leave modularized that which you don't. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
