Not really what you want, but somebody thought of something similar. Since |
| 12 |
Linux 2.6.32 you can do: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
make localmodconfig [1]. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
That will take the output of lsmod (so you need an already running kernel, |
| 17 |
e.g., from a live CD) and remove all unnecessary modules from the existing |
| 18 |
kernel .config. |
