generally the install will also install necessary modules for
everything, you just have to load them.
all of the modules are in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/
you can use "modprobe <modulename>" to load them. for example "modprobe
parport"
you can list the modules you want loaded at boot in /etc/modules
