Hello, AFAIK, modconf does not yet work with 2.6 kernels (with .ko suffix for kernel module filename) well, so i've attempted to patch it. The lame results of that attempt *should* be attached to this mail (buggy evolution doesn't show me attachments i'm sending) :). Generally, i've simply grepped for ".o" and changed it to a variable which has a value of ".o" or ".ko" depending on the kernel version. Don't know if that's a side effect of my patch or not, but somewhy i no longer see some captions for categories. ;] i hope this patch (or this patch patched again) will be included in the upcoming versions of modconf, so that people don't get scared as i was, when they try 2.6 for a first time. Finally, i'm not subscribed to this list, so, please, CC: all the answers (if any) to this post to me. Thanks. regards, Rimas "RQ" Kudelis
