[techtalk] modules and xconfig

[moebius at ip-solutions.net]

Hey Theresa,
	Using modules in the kernel is good for when you want a smaller
kernel and you don't use the module in question to operate the system. ie
-> vfat, ntfs support are better as modules. Scsi support you probably
want to compile in the kernel, unless its a card for a scanner or likewise
