    How can I pre-emptively disable some of the default modules in DNN?  I work for a webhosting company, and one of the things we see often is customers installing a full blown DNN site to do nothing more than a blog.  They have all of the modules enabled, and are only using one small feature of DNN.  Is there any way (Via web.config, or some other config) that we can set only a subset of modules to be enabled by default?  The only reason is that this is a shared hosting environment, and customers gobbling up 100MB of memory for a blog site is a bit excessive.

Thanks for any advice.

Take a look at the "DotNetNuke Installation Guide.pdf" doc in the documentation folder, it describes how to handle this scenario. Site and content provisioning can be controlled via calls to "www.yoursite.com/install/install.aspx?mode=InstallResources". This will trigger installation of the contents of the install folders , and is automatically triggered by a default install. To stop modules being installed, simply delete the relevant files from the relevant folders e.g. if you didn't want the store installed you could remove Store_01.00.01_Install.zip from the install/modules folder.

Some hosts have installations that only have a few common modules (text/html, links, search,announcements) to keep size, but they then have a screen in their client admin that lets people select modules to install. The host then does a simple copy to the right folder and triggers the install.aspx call.
