... the point is, that with pre-compiled kernels, AfAIK, I'll have a lot
of non-modular capabilities built-in to the kernel, thus wasting RAM (and
speed?) that otherwise could be used for stuff I really need on the
machine.
So compiling myself is option #1 (I'm definitely not keen on extra-work at
this beautiful summer here ... :)
If it will not work, I'll probably use the options from kernel .configs I
found on www ... But most of the time I'm not a friend of copying without
understanding.
That's why I came here ... :)
Thanks again, Frank.
Best Regards,
Wolfgang
