I wrote a simple perl script (attached) to turn off all the modules that are not being used on the current system. Obviously if you have a USB device that's not attached, it would get turned off too. But this was nice to see what modules I actually needed to get a system running. You first compile the kernel with the default distribution .config. Then run this script in the directory of the kernel that's running, and has that .config available. The output of a .config with all non necessary modules turned off is sent to standard output. -- Steve
