If you put NO_MODULES=3Dtrue into /etc/make.conf, then you'll only get
the kernel build. You won't get any extra loadable modules.
Other than that, you can specify a list of modules to build if you
don't want all of them:
MODULES_OVERRIDE=3D linux ipfw
Not sure what happens if you configure those options in the kernel
config, and also add them to the 'MODULES_OVERRIDE' list. =20
There's also 'MODULES_WITH_WORLD=3Dtrue' which separates building kernel
modules from building the rest of the kernel. This is solely for
backwards compatability -- I can't think of any good reason to use
this option otherwise.
Cheers,
Matthew
