Other Help Topics :: modprobe usbcore



Anyone know how to turnoff the modprobe for the usbcore and other unwanted Kernel modules

My system doesnt even have a CDROM or USB, and it only has 16Megs ram and every bit helps...

Any ideas

I don't know where exactly these modules are loaded up in the startup script.

However, I believe that you can dump the USB stuff by adding 'nousb' to the boot command line.

As for how to remove them after the fact, try:

rmmod <module name>

See the man page for details:
