Try module_dump /unix to check to see if you have really got a kernel
without AppleTalk. The correct way to uninstall it is to say

	/etc/newconfig noappletalk

If the module_dump doesn't show you that AppleTalk has gone then
you are either failing the kernel build or getting your kernel from
elsewhere.

The certain death to AppleTalk, installed or not, is to move
/etc/appletalk to another name (e.g. /etc/appletalk.nein_danke)
in whcih case the attempt to start it (in /etc/startup by the way)
will fail.


Are you sure that you need to turn of AppleTalk anyway?
