To automatically load any modules at bootup, Just list the modules you want loaded at the bottom of /etc/modules Or, if you want sound modules to autoload when needed, put something like this in /etc/modutils/sound (modifying for your setup): alias char-major-14 sb post-install sb /sbin/modprobe "-k" "adlib_card" options sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=3 mpu_io=0x330 options adlib_card io=0x388 options sound dmabuf=1 and run update-modules. Voila! Whenever you need sound, the modules will load, and when you don't, they unload themselves. -- Stephen Pitts [EMAIL PROTECTED] webmaster - http://www.mschess.org
