I usualy start with a kernel with almost everything compiled in (but |
| 5 |
only things I definitely need), only using modules when I have to |
| 6 |
(USB for suspend2 comes to my mind). Over time whenever I need |
| 7 |
something new (filesystem, hardware driver,...) I tend to compile it |
| 8 |
as a module to avoid a reboot. As I do not upgrade my kernel very |
| 9 |
often this happens more often than you might think (last upgrade was |
| 10 |
from 2.6.11 to 2.6.16, on my laptop from 2.6.10 to 2.6.16). |

I don't really care about the 300k more used memory (hardly worth a |
| 13 |
thought on systems with 1 GB RAM and more) or the 0.3 seconds faster |
| 14 |
boot process. Modules just come in handy when it comes to avoiding a |
| 15 |
reboot. |
