Re: Debian modules

then reboot and 30+ modules are loaded, crazy ones like sound, etc.
Interesting. It has been a few months since I installed a Sarge system.
I don't recall how it worked with the systems I installed. However, I
do know that there are dependencies by some modules on others. Also,
are you running packages that will load their own modules? For example,
I know shorewall will load a whole bunch of iptables modules when it
runs. Beyond that, I am not certain. I would be interested to find out
what is going on that is causing this.
