Is this right? Actually, everything is always compiled as a module, even if it's also statically compiled. To not build any modules, put this in your kernel config file: makeoptions NO_MODULES="yes" To only build certain modules instead of everything, add makeoptions MODULES_OVERRIDE="fxp bktr smbfs" .. etc. I'm not sure where this is documented :) -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
