Re: compile all modules.

I for one would hate this: I compile on a 486DX2 w/ 8Meg RAM. Compiling the
kernel and my selected modules takes long enough as it is w/o compiling all
the rest! Add to this the fact that some modules (e.g. sound) need
configuring before compilation in order to be of any use.

I also don't fancy having to rm what I don't need. Waste of my time.

As it stands, the make process compiles what I need, nothing more, nothing
less. I vote to keep things this way.

Cheers,
:E
