They might be your friend, but they're not mine :P There are many reasons people might not want to use modules, see many other threads here. And modules actually take more RAM than building into the kernel if you actually use them, as well as increasing security issues and having some cost in terms of TLBs, etc. Non-modular kernels are your friends. As to the first question, I'll send the person a copy of my non-modular OPL3SA2 patch. David.
