I am a debian newbie, learning the ropes. I have seen the update-modules
command on a few mailings to debian-user. But when I go to the man page to
find out what it does, it says:
UPDATE-MODULES(8) Debian
UPDATE-MODULES(8)
NAME
update-modules - obsolete command
what is it doing? I am running sid and I see files
a /etc/modules /etc/modules.conf /etc/modules.conf.old
and a /etc/modprobe.d/ directory with aliases.
Is there a nice document to explain the relative roles of these
files/directories and their associated shell commands in a modern debian
environment?
Thanks,
