	I don't think other distros have an update-modules etc., but i
just don't know exactly how they do it. Take a look at the script for
modutils in /etc/init.d. Its one of the first scripts run from sysinit.
	It runs depmod and echos "Claculating module dependencies..."
just before modprobe loads modules from /etc/modules.
