Really? Can't recall that comment on this list. It is certainly more
work the first time you install a machine (you need to know your
hardware), but in the long run it's easier for a lot of reasons, IMHO.
I've been running my kernels with everything I need included since
ages; laptop with Intel video card, desktop with NVidia (thanks
nouveau!), and every server I run. I use the nvidia binary module in
my media center, and sometimes I install VMware or VirtualBox, and
then I have a couple of modules hanging out. But usually lsmod returns
nothing in my machines.
In particular, all my ALSA drivers are included in my kernel, and they
never give me trouble.
But of course, none of this answers your original question. Good luck with =
that.
Regards.
