O, thanks, but now there are 2 more questions:
1. I still do not know exact (approx) time of compiling kernel on
systems like mine.
2. Where can i read about modules, their names and descriptions?

P.S. I've already rebuilt my kernel w\o modules, but one of my prog
won't compile without some of this modules, so i need more information
`bout them.
