The questions are these: How do I specify what I want in modules and what goes in the kernel? From the little I have seen, it seems that whatever I put in my kernel config file prior to buildkernel will be linked to the kernel. Everything else go as modules. Is this right? If the above is right, does that means that _everything_ is compiled? (a bit go to the kernel and a bit as modules) Even if I surely not need it? That's it. I think. Thanks to all, Jon. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
