It makes no difference either way I have it in my lilo.conf, neither way
works or does anything different. I don't have any special modules, actually
I don't have any. I compile everything into the kernel as I always have as
far as I know, being as I never did a make modules on the system ever, unless
the redhat 4.0 system does something odd I don't know about.
