Agree completely. In or case, we also compile in the 3ware RAID stuff, a few common NIC drivers like the cheapo NE2000 or similar so we can drop in a rubbish card if the Intel or 3com cards fail. In my experience, putting essentials built-into the kernel is wise, as they tend to have much less chance of fcsking up than modules. YMMV. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
