    Hello Mike,

    O, thanks, but now there are 2 more questions:
    1. I still do not know exact (approx) time of compiling kernel on
    systems like mine.
    2. Where can i read about modules, their names and descriptions?

    P.S. I've already rebuilt my kernel w\o modules, but one of my prog
    won't compile without some of this modules, so i need more information
    `bout them.
