SubjectConfiguration free kernels
Date
From
When compiling linux for more than one machine, it would be preferable
to compile all modules as modules irrespective of them being compiled in
to the kernel. This would require that y/n/m should be split into y/n
and m/n, i.e. compile in and compile as module seperately.
Ultimately, I would prefer that all configuration is done in /etc/conf.modules
or something, instead of at compile time. This way everybody would compile
the same kernel and come across the same compilation problems. Solaris seems
to do this quite reasonably, as opposed to SunOS. The only problem would be
how to boot without having your Buslogic SCSI driver compiled in or whatever.
Well since lilo can load the kernel from your SCSI boot disk, can the kernel
not load the scsi driver module in a similar way?
