No. Space requirements are not reduced signinficantly because kernel always has all it's modules in same subdir. And if freebsd-update(8) updates, you have to have two kernels in /boot, both MINIMAL and GENERIC, haven't you? > Next step: after install sysincstall/bsdinstall/pc-install may reduce > /boot/loader.conf and move some drivers to kld_list. Sounds good, but will all-in-loader.conf sllooww down installation media boot considerably? -- WBR, Vadim Goncharov.
