Huh? I didn't re-post my message did I? It's not in my sent items list? Anyways, the question was not about diskspace but more about various drivers. I have an ISDN PRI card for which I need to load drivers for the Asterisk PBX. It seems however that some drivers are already in the kernel but they aren't useful for me. That's why I wondered how I could remove it. I solved it by a series of rmmod commands in rc.local and loading the proper drivers from there. Also I don't like to have unneccesary drivers loaded. Why have some flaky SATA drivers in mem when the controller is not even being used, same for USB etc. Cheers!
