hi joerg-

thanks for replying.

i did start down that road a bit - and found out i am not yet 
comfortable enough with that process to trust myself (very very new to 
debian).  besides, isn't the idea of loading and unloading (or not 
loading) modules that you don't have to recompile your kernel for this 
type of thing?
