Re: Kernel and auto module loading.

Thanks, 

It was in the modules file.
I had not noticed that file, and I just checked, it is nowhwere in the docs

There was also a lot of unused stuff in the /lib/modules/2.0.3? directory.

I am beginning to realise that debian linux is not nearly as 'user
unfriendly' as people make out.
