My personal preference, when it is it feasable, is to compile just the |
33 |
modules the features that I actually have installed at the time, and |
34 |
compile as much of it into the kernel as will function properly. |
35 |
|
36 |
That way I don't have to worry about modprobing anything, and with the |
37 |
newer kernels, most things that are compiled directly into the kernel |
38 |
run pretty much automatically. |
