-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I usualy start with a kernel with almost everything compiled in (but only things I definitely need), only using modules when I have to (USB for suspend2 comes to my mind). Over time whenever I need something new (filesystem, hardware driver,...) I tend to compile it as a module to avoid a reboot. As I do not upgrade my kernel very often this happens more often than you might think (last upgrade was from 2.6.11 to 2.6.16, on my laptop from 2.6.10 to 2.6.16).
I don't really care about the 300k more used memory (hardly worth a thought on systems with 1 GB RAM and more) or the 0.3 seconds faster boot process. Modules just come in handy when it comes to avoiding a reboot. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFEjShO6q4f+IV6B/wRAqqVAJ4nJm00PUpjPWQKEXii+j3vN/8zowCfQImC +m69YW947xYOCsZM+sUyqTA= =FNqr -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
