Also note that your startup scripts can look for modules that you don't
have/need, like pcmcia. That's for laptops, and you don't need it for a
desktop machine. You'll need to look at your module configuration to pick
and choose what you need, even if you don't use modules.
I, for example, choose not to use modules and instead build everything I need
directly into the monolithic kernel. This is theoretically wasteful of
memory, and supposedly Linux includes a feature to auto-install and
auto-remove modules as needed, but I've never played with it and don't have
the time it takes to properly investigate it on a production machine.
I believe there is a Module HOWTO either already installed on your machine
(if you installed the HOWTOs for your distribution) or at
http://www.linux.org/ under documentation, howto.
YMMV.
