Good point. By the way, looking at /etc/modutils/serial, there is an example: post-install serial /etc/init.d/setserial modload > /dev/null 2>/dev/null Since post-install and install seems to have the same syntax, I will vote for (Never done it through): install modulename insmod -f modulename One needs to run update-modules before this gets converted to /etc/modules.conf > Writing scripts is just fine for something that Debian doesn't cater for, > but you are making work for yourself by not playing the Debian way. I agree. Adding quick fix sometimes looks easier but will hurt us when upgrading. Reading /etc/init.d/modules should have answered all the question original poster raised:-) init.d scripts are MUST read for these issues. Now I know what happens during boot process for modules :-) -- ~\^o^/~~~ ~\^.^/~~~ ~\^*^/~~~ ~\^_^/~~~ ~\^+^/~~~ ~\^:^/~~~ ~\^v^/~~~ + Osamu Aoki <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, GnuPG-key: 1024D/D5DE453D + + My debian quick-reference, http://www.aokiconsulting.com/quick/ +
