I will then stick to your approach, as it makes sense. personally i would use the kernels `localmodconfig`, ie. `make localmodconfig`. this make target will build a kernel matching the current state of your system. so, you must: 1) boot normally 2) `modprobe -r` any modules you *for sure* don't need 2) `modprobe`/launch absolutely every module/application you might want or need (everything! loopback, bluetooth, etc) 3) `make localmodconfig` ... this will build you a kernel with only the bare minimum needed to fulfill your current state; any modules not loaded at this time will not be built. you may still need to configure other features unrelated to modules. -- C Anthony
