From: "Mark Ovens" <parish@magichamster.com> > The advantage of building a custom kernel is that you remove anything your > system doesn't have which saves time when booting as the kernel won't be > probing for devices that it will never find - for example. mine is an > all-SCSI system so my kernel doesn't have any IDE or floppy devices in > it - and it makes the kernel smaller (although that isn't really an issue > these days). With FreeBSD and Linux I don't spend much time customising my kernel incase I remove a module that I actually need. Does anyone know of a tool which can probe for your devices and then suggest which modules can safely be disabled? thanks Andrew
