There are two things here, the first is that the modules are laid out without structure and thus are difficult to identify. If, for example the netfilter related modules would be kept in a separate directory, as they are in the stagig directory, it would be clear that they should not be touched. The second is the shere amount of modules, which is a result of the structureless set up. > In any case, simpliest way to clean all unneeded - remove all modules > and run module auto-probing. It'll copy all used modules into /lib/modules. Is there any technical reason not to keep the directory structure? cheers Erich
