it is not a module, but compiled in. You have to rebuild your
kernel. And
probably decrapify your config a lot.
Doh! I was fairly tired when I wrote that, sorry.
I tend to just occasionally copy the kernel .config from that used on
the latest Knoppix disk, and `make oldconfig` between times. I figure
I don't know enough about the kernel that I'm likely to be able to
select a better set of options than that, and learning what to change
will surely not produce improvements worth the time expended.
I would love a recommended "default" kernel .config - either for
Gentoo or Linux in general, but based towards on "small server" use -
but I'm not aware of anyone publishing one. I like the notion of a
small, minimal and "sleek" kernel, but with lots of modules available
to load as necessary, should I install a new PCI card. If anyone has
any low-overhead suggestions, I would love to hear them.
Stroller.
