If you're compiling for only one machine, I'd just compile what is necessary to boot the machine (or that doesn't work as a module) into the kernel. If you are creating a kernel for multiple types of machines, use initrd. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
