An example spinymouse@debian:/boot$ cat config-2.6.39.1 | grep TABLET CONFIG_INPUT_TABLET=y CONFIG_TABLET_USB_ACECAD=m CONFIG_TABLET_USB_AIPTEK=m CONFIG_TABLET_USB_GTCO=m # CONFIG_TABLET_USB_HANWANG is not set CONFIG_TABLET_USB_KBTAB=m CONFIG_TABLET_USB_WACOM=m I would like to have a tablet, but I don't have got a tablet. When building this kernel, one time something unneeded was build as part of the kernel and 5 times an unneeded module was build. Just one unneded thingy wasn't build. You can grep anything else and you will see, that you build tons of unneeded stuff. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
