Hi, I read that freebsd is monolithic. Is that still true? If I wanted to add functionality like device drivers, or maybe my own tcp/ip stack, (or maybe add the facility to allow modules) do I have to download the entire source and add it in there? nothing available like a kernel module in linux? (which afaik you can attach at runtime) also when I add packages using the ports system, then remove them, are they completely gone or are there still random conf files / misc.. laying around slowly bloating the hdd also is there a way to scan for unused packages somehow and list them thanks a lot
