grow so much compared to *which other modules*? the ones that came with your distro? if that's the case, try installing your new modules with # make INSTALL_MOD_STRIP=1 modules_install that makes a *huge* difference in the size of the installed modules, as i learned when i first ran across this on my fedora core system. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
