But during compiles for other thinks I see a lot of statements roll by for sound card support during make and make install processing. I though maybe there was some way to un-bundle load module support for sound cards. Or let me ask this a different way. What is the sound card statements I see roll by during make & make install referring too? -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Scott Mitchell Sent: Saturday, January 05, 2002 11:48 AM To: Joe & Fhe Barbish Cc: FBSD Questions Subject: Re: removeing sound card from kernel binary On Sat, Jan 05, 2002 at 11:24:30AM -0500, Joe & Fhe Barbish wrote: > I am building a stand-a-lone firewall box. > I have no need for sound card support. > > Is there a way to remove from the kernel to > make the kernel binary smaller? Build a custom kernel without any audio drivers in it? The GENERIC kernel config doesn't include any audio stuff anyway, so the customisation should be trivial :-) That said, there's probably a lot of other cruft you can strip out of GENERIC for this box, and you might want to have the firewall code compiled in rather than loaded from modules, so building a custom kernel is a good idea anyways.
