Hi,

When I do lsmod a lot of modules are marked as (autoclean) or (unused), however they don't seem to actually get removed.

I checked out some of the docs in /usr/linux/src and they suggest a cron job should be set up that does "modprobe -r" to remove unused modules.

I also saw somewhere that "rmmod -a" does the same thing. However neither works on my system, the modules stay right where they are.

So how do I remove unused modules and get autoclean ones to get autocleaned? Do I have to use kerneld as the kmod readme suggested that this was defunct.

Easy----------just re-compile your kernel and leave out any/all modules that you are not going to use........

I want to use them sometimes, but remove them when I need more memory.

Is this on a 2.4 kernel?
