Its OK if I need to have root permissions only once right? I can change the /etc/modules/ once during installation of the activity and need not load the module every time I run the activity. I am new programming on Linux and wasnt sure what to change to make the XO load the oss module on startup. So my plan is if I know how to make the XO load the oss modules I can do this in a script and run the script during installation of the activity so that when I launch the activity I would not need root permission.Could you please tell me how to change /etc/modules to load oss modules on startup?
