is there any utility of replicating a linx installation over a LAN ... some how have the same installation over all the hosts on that network?
Yes, but I can't remember names of specific utilities. I wonder if Ghost would work. Or if the systems are identical, you could dd them (man dd).
during configuring the modules and the make of the kernel.. there are option like sound support or video support or suport for specific devices ?
Yes, there are.
my question is ?? what files are included in the kernel when such support is compiled in , are these the drivers for such devices or support files or kernel function or what??
They are the "drivers". Actually, they're a bunch of code files which provide the open() close() read() write() and init() functions for a specific device or device class. When you enable a device in the kernel's configuration, you enable a "stub" in the kernel and you enable the compilation and linking of the device driver.
