Martin, sorry for the "_must_" thing, that's because english is not my first language, and on the rush of the work, I have no time to find some more proper words to express myself - if I don't mispelled some :) - and on-line translators just make things worse. Now after this emails I think there's an very good answer to my question. After reading all answer till now, I understood there some modules and some built-in capabilities on kernel - that's all just great, if there are any other modules that can easily be build and left on ISO or SVN/CVS this would be awesome. I also understood there are some other modules impossible to be build. I think "embedded" means everything maybe don't fit all on disk, but you can choose what to group on.
I propose to those managing documentation to create a page with a list of all modules the distro have. and to solve many of my doubts if there is a page on shorewall docs describing the modules depencies (modules filenames) for every feature it has. (that's for you Tom :) . If someone can point me any work to help this I glad to help somehow.
