HAL either refers to "HAL 9000" (in which case, RAM should not be the
problem :) or to Hardware Abstraction Layer.

In both cases, you should refrain from ripping modules from "HAL".

More information can be found on wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HAL_9000
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HAL_%28software%29
or on the disabiguation page, which has many more hals available

PS: As a sidenote: When I tried out Open-BSD, i was astonnished at the
amount of running processes. "top" did not even fill half a screen! Respect!
