Any way to install modconf on current potato?

[Stuart Ballard <sballard@netreach.net>]

Is there any way to get modconf to install on the current release of
potato? Failing that, what are the necessary commands at the console to:
1) See what modules my kernel is compiled to support (I know what they
are, just not the module names - they were never mentioned in make
xconfig)
2) See the help on a module's parameter format
3) Attempt to add a module into the running kernel with a given set of
parameters
4) Set things up so that the module I just added will be added next time
I boot as well

On a related note, I can't seem to get gnome-apt to install either - it
wants an unavailable version of libapt-pkg2.5. Any ideas on this one?

Thanks,

Stuart.
