Subject:   NEWBIE: kernel building and modules

Hello,

this is a newbie question, but I practically made the move to FreeBSD from 
Linux a couple of weeks ago. The questions are these:

How do I specify what I want in modules and what goes in the kernel?

From the little I have seen, it seems that whatever I put in my kernel 
config file prior to buildkernel will be linked to the kernel. Everything 
else go as modules. Is this right?

If the above is right, does that means that _everything_ is compiled? (a bit 
go to the kernel and a bit as modules) Even if I surely not need it?

That's it. I think.

Thanks to all,
Jon.
