Thx Martin! Yes AFAIK tun.ko is one of the cases where /etc/modules is still needed. As you wrote the autodetection is for harwdare modules - and tun.ko isn't a hardware module. At least I do not know a better way, than the one you choosed. (But don't count on me - after eight years using LEAF, I don't change my habits adding modules etc easily, so I may be behind the actual development. The good thing is, that the old habits still works as well :)) Maybe the module autodetection can be improved in the future to add modules needed by packages (that discussion was started some time ago without any results so far) - but then I think there are other, more important, issues yet, like Erichs question "what is the canonical way to get rid of the unnecessary modules in initrd?" or how to improve architecture-based initrd and moddb building... kp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enable your software for Intel(R) Active Management Technology to meet the growing manageability and security demands of your customers.
