My advice, install with the default kernel and then later you can use the output of "dmesg" to get a fairly accurate hardware list and build a custom kernel. If you're intent is to optimize you'll be building a custom kernel soon enough as the default install has support for things like the x87 emulator. -- Jim On Fri, 2 Jun 2000, leegold wrote: > My 1st install of a non-MS OS ( 1st UNIX install ) I want to make sure I get > things optimized. > > storage: I'm keeping ata0, ata1, fde0 ( I think my cd-r is a master on ata1 > and my HD is master on ata0 ) > > network: deleted all devices ( I have a realtek ethernet card not cited in > this list ) > > communications: I see: ppc0 - parallel port chip set, > sio0 and sio1 - serial ports > ( I have an outboard modem on com2 ) > What should I do? should i delete sio0?
