Ok, let me clarify what I meant. I usually compile modules into the kernel that I need to get my system to *start* booting.

I don't need my network card until later in the boot sequence. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
