Yup, thanks, I figured it out. I recompile my kernel
and made modular everything I possibly could.
Monolitic kernel:
436154 Sep 8 17:34 vmlinuz
Kernel with modules and with lots of new stuff:
294873 Nov 8 17:00 mvmlinuz
140KB difference! I didn't know it would be so different.
Plus I have more free memory and certain things (that
are modules now) seem to be loaded and accessed faster
such as ZIP drive, PPP, CD-ROM, non Linux file systems...
Kerneld is also a very good thing.
Looks like I was wrong when aboput two months ago I flamed
modules on this list (btw, no one objected anyway).
Now, a question; below is my /etc/conf.modules. Does it
look correct? Is that file essential for kerneld? I wrote
it in pico because kerneld management tool in Control
Panel was too confusing.
[vlad@borg /boot]$ cat /etc/conf.modules
