So, that's where the man page for modprobe.d is...

I have already a file in modprobe.d that blacklists floppy. Now it 
contains also the line

install snd-usb-audio /sbin/modprobe snd-via82xx && /sbin/modprobe \
--ignore-install snd-usb-audio

However, floppy is still loaded, little stubborn module. What happens, 
really? Why is it loaded anyway? Perhaps it is inserted from the initrd?
