For me as a user, that would be a much preferable approach, instilled long ago by Linux. I don't like unused stuff around, and I like to understand what I am using. Some build kernel confutation parameters "minimum modules", "medium modules", "maximum modules" might be utilized. I would be using "medium" or most likely "maximum", leaving me with a minimal kernel. -- Alex -- alex-goncha...@comcast.net -- _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
