wow. slackware is around since 93 and loadable modules since 95... i always remembered compiling drivers in to save RAM (i.e. i was more removing drivers than adding). But somewhere around kernel 1.2 we did have to compile driver modules in, indeed.

I couldn't even afford a 386 :) A friend of mine got us access to one at the work place of a relative of his and we spent nights fiddling with Slackware. We even made a serial cable so I could log in via serial from the other computer in the office, which was only a 286.
