Too Many Modules loaded
Hello,
I have installed Knoppix on the harddrive, things are working OK, but I have noticed that there are too many modules loaded (using lsmod), most of them are not used. I know those were probably needed to autodetect the hardware but is there any way to prevent them from loading.. here is the output of my lsmo:

Re: Too Many Modules loaded
--Good Lord... I've never seen that many modules loaded that didn't need to be. As root, edit /etc/modules and '#' comment out the ones you don't need. I did this for things like ntfs and xfs that I'll never use.
