< blacklist something-else
What are good ones to blacklist here for the r50e?
Maybe I can just say "blacklist xxx..." in /etc/modules?
< /etc/hotplug/blacklist
< #additionally to the regular blacklist
< #this is my personal blacklist (one per line)
< e1000 ipw2200 i2ci801 ieee1394 ohci1394 irda irtty_sir sir_dev
< pcmcia_core yenta_socket pcspkr rtc hci_usb bluetooth l2cap
I only know what a few of those are for. modinfo(8) helps but a
little. Most of these I don't think I
use every day. Some are wasted for a r50e. Any more I can add?
rcconf(8) says I run these at boot: acpid atd aumix chrony cron dbus-1
inetd klogd makedev smartmontools sysklogd.
Maybe I don't need dbus-1, inetd, makedev on my isolated standalone system?
