So does it mean that Debian load the modules with the > kernel module loader? yes, probably so. most of kernels get loaded when (first) used, but not unloaded. I guess hotplug scripts load modules for every existing piece of hardware for the system to be able to use it. If you'd blacklist them, you won't be able to use them, and some of your startup scripts may fail. You can however check /etc/modules for modules you do not really need and remove them. -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.
