yes. pretty cool, huh?

When I compile kernels for a router, I put in as permanent the things
that I know will be used a lot, and rarely changed out, like the
networking cards and ip_aliasing. I use them a lot.
when doing a fileserver, I put in things like the networking cards,
the nfs filesystems, scsi adapter and raid. they get used a lot on
that machine.
from there, I put in modules the things that I might need once in a
while. (e.g. nfs for the router, DOS fs for the fileserver, ISOfs for
the fileserver , as we rarely go over to the machine....)
have fun,
rob
