Re: what is modules.conf

["Matthias Mann" <Matman@gmx.li>]

Hi Peter!

/etc/modules.conf includes all the names of modules, they are installed into
your kernel. I´m not shure whether modconf has generated this file. But
modconf will write into it by selecting a module to put it into the kernel.
The kernel reads this file to see which modules shall be load at booting.

[If here is a mistake please correct me. I´m still very new in the
linuxworld.]
