I told you how to find out this information. Here is a SuSE distribution's /etc/modules.conf, complete with its copyright notice. You need to know that Linux uses a strange command interpreter that, unlike windows, does not know how to read one's mind. This means that, should you enter, for instance, `ls /etc/modules`, it isn't going to find it because it doesn't exist. You need to either type its full name or use wild-cards which I won't explain here. # # # Copyright (c) 1996-2000 SuSE GmbH Nuernberg, Germany.
