Re: CVS commit: src



This is all somewhat related to Christos's introduction of the MODULAR config yesterday, in an effort to reduce kernel footprint and get the number of "things" down below dtrace's limits. :)

I'm not intending to make any changes to GENERIC...

It may be because I read list messages in bizarre orders, but I had
already seen Christos later commits to fix things so autoloading ppp would
actually work, so when I read Paul's message I interpreted it more as

	Kernel support for ppp being autoloaded is now there, but
	you can't actually use it yet

Which is (probably) now no longer true - no idea, I don't use modules at all.
