Hello, I don't quite follow and I also have a few things
that run at startup from my first install that I included
as modules (ppp,scsi,vfat) that still are trying to load
even tho I have made my own kernel with them complied in.
So I don't need or want to see them trying to load modules
that it first used to get my system going that arn't there
anymore.

How would I clean up the boot process of these old first
install modules..that arnt needed anymore and my present
kernel handles fine ?
