Yes, but not only that. Among other things, update-modules now builds both /etc/modules.conf from the files in /etc/modutils/* __and__ /lib/modules/modprobe.conf (included by /etc/modprobe.conf, as you say) from what's contained in /etc/modprobe.d/*. If you dualboot modular 2.6 and 2.4 kernels, you need to set your aliases (and options, and insert/remove commands, ...) in both /etc/modutils/whatever and /etc/modprobe.d/whatever. If you no longer boot a modular 2.4 kernel, then you can forget about /etc/modutils/* and /etc/modules.conf. -- Kiko Please do not reply to the sender address of this email; due to spam and Windows (TM) worms, everything not comming from the list is "stored" in /dev/null.
