This will create a dependency file for the modules (so that for example msdos and vfat needs to be loaded together, etc.) Also, you should be able to turn off auto-loading of modules explicitly by modifying bits of your rc (used at startup) scripts, which are located at /etc/rc.d/ on my Slackware system. This is all explained in one of the readme files in the kernel source. Regards, Louis.
