Exactly that. modconf saves me from understanding how modules work, where they are, in which configfile they have to be written on Kernel 2.x. I do not know anything about modules - and with modconf all my machines run without trouble. I want modconf. :-) > If you want to manage modules on your own, add their > lines to /etc/modules.

I am lost in the new one, even booting with "expert" there's a lot of "Yes, No, Go back, Skip" instead of woodys "Place your foor on 'Enter', I install the absolut minimum, go on and fix the rest yourself". :-) Just my taste.
