  1. Modprobed-db is a useful utility for users wishing to build a minimal
  2. kernel via a make localmodconfig. In a nutshell, this make target
  3. creates a config based on the current config and a list of modules
  4. you define (modprobed-db keeps for you). It then disables any module
  5. option that is not needed thus not building hundreds/potentially
  6. thousands of extraneous modules. This results in a system-specific,
  7. streamlined kernel package and footprint as well as reduced compilation
  8. times.
  9. Modprobed-db simply logs every module ever probed on the target system
  10. to a text-based database which can be read directly by "make
  11. localmodconfig" as described above.
  12. To automatically run modprobed-db every hour add the following to your
  13. user's crontab (run "crontab -e"):
