The difference is hard in the kernel[y] or as a loadable module[m] !!

As a module you will have a smaller kernel, and you can put or remove
these
services while the system is running.

If you choose modules you must compile them ;-))

just do following:

make xconfig (or make menuconfig without X11)
  select the modules or hard in kernel things

after that:

make dep && make clean

Now you are ready for go ;-))


make bzImage && make modules && make modules_install

If everything is OK -> make install

Remember to call "lilo" to install your new kernel in the
BOOT-Record.

Now it should be OK :-)

BTW: You should choose to "Enable loadable module support" and "Kernel
module loader"
     so the kernel can load the modules automagicaly as needed ;-))
