Re: remove unwanted modules

But why do you want to do this? A full modules directory in /lib/`uname -r`

Actually, I wanted to know just for knowing purposes.

The other reason I wanted to know is because I'm using Debian with a single Opteron246 to create a router to handle traffic between 4 vlans and the internet. So I wanted to make sure that I didn't have any modules in there that might be a potential security threat nor any that would degrade performance solely due to its presence.

Know of any?
