No study the command carefully, it means;
ls -al /lib/modules/<kernel_in_use>/* the singel quotes execute a command
in this case uname -r. so if one is using kernel 2.2.5-15, uname -r will
return that kernel version, hence;
ls -al /lib/modules/2.5-15/* | grep -e "-rw-r--r--" greps for the permissions
of the modules and modules.dep, all other lines counted by wc -l do not have
the stated permissions and will not be counted.

Its /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage or under normal curcumstances
zImage. In this case bzImage was not nessacary.

Asking for what,???? If i did not say yes here, i would not get some Ham
radio protocol options, and other new "experimental" drivers and
configuration options.

How is that possable when you say no to "EXPERIMENTAL".
