OK, copying the .config file to /boot/ would be a good idea if you do
so. However it is not necessary to do
I like compile-in, generally less work must be done (just a hair, but
it is less)

No need for that if you have only added modules. "make modules" only
builds the modules, not the kernel itself, so copying the kernel to
/boot

Yea, of course you can do that, though you have to be careful if your
kernel tree has changed to a different version than the one you're
booted from (usually you can still just force the module to load, but
a module from a different kernel tree may not want to play nicely with
everything else).

I would say this is "a must" on server. This way you would close
one potential security leak. Of course, it does not help if you
leave a fe

Well, all mileage may vary.
Personally, I prefer to not have things loaded into the kernel when
I'm not using them. It's not really a performance or a memory saving
thing, but more of an OCD thing. I'm sure that, in the grand scheme
of things, the little time/power/whatever I save by keeping th
oh, there is one thing where it is useful to have modules. That would
be projects where the codebase will be updated more often than you
update your kernels (I'm looking at you ALSA). In those circumstances
it may be more valuable to have the flexibility to update code without
having to reboot (
