Unload (modprobe -r) all modules you think you will never use before running that script.

I wouldn't complain about 22MB when official minimal requirement is 46 MB

Lowering depth and/or resolution of framebuffer and/or X could squeeze out some more, short of omitting framebuffer and/or X entirely.

Hi Rich,

Output is

Code: [Select]

acpi_cpufreq
mperf
cpufreq_userspace
cpufreq_conservative
cpufreq_powersave
cpufreq_stats
squashfs
pcspkr
scsi_wait_scan
loop

I'm not posting the full output because I have to manually type everything out, but the value for the "Size" column is 12288 for nearly all of them.

What about transferring a file?

Code: [Select]

lsmod > lsmod.log

Hi cortman

Code: [Select]

lsmod > lsmod.txtThen you can copy  lsmod.txt  to a USB thumb and copy/paste on the machine you post from.

Obviously. *facepalm.

cpufreq_powersave      12288  0
cpufreq_stats          12288  0

Thanks for all the help so far!

And I can keep these from loading at boot by adding a blacklist="acpi_cpufreq" boot code? (that particular module as an example)?

Probably, but see reply #15 which could discard unused modules from initrd entirely.
