The advantages are quicker booting and a > smaller memory footprint. You can also just 'disable' them in userconfig. This prevents them being probed, but leaves them there for when you need them. The userconfig changes are saved back into the kernel by 'dset' out of / etc/rc, so you only need to do this once. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
