I think you're missing my point.

By the time you want to slim down the kernel that much, Linux, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, they're not that different.

That was not the point of this thread, so back at ya:

It should be clear that Bluetooth is not 90% of the kernel size...that's why i wrote "slimmed down" which means disable/not-compile everything not needed (like just one of 3 firewalls, filesystems, network-stacks etc).

Yes, but you don't do that by blacklisting modules right? Because that was your solution ;)


That was the solution to what this thread is about: easily disabling bluetooth.


No it was about why to build the kernel without some modules.
