I have 23 modules (loaded), most related to the soundcard, and a few |
| 19 |
related to nvidia, a few for the webcam. It appears I could unload 4 |
| 20 |
modules but the rest are necessary, and cannot be compiled inside the |
| 21 |
kernel without breaking functionality of other drivers, or applications. |
