Name : module-init-tools Product : Fedora 16 Version : 3.16 Release : 5.fc16 URL : None Summary : Kernel module management utilities. Description : The module-init-tools package includes various programs needed for automatic loading and unloading of modules under 2.6 and later kernels, as well as other module management programs. Device drivers and filesystems are two examples of loaded and unloaded modules. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Add "backports" directory to search line in depmod-dist.conf Fix automated loading of the ramdisk driver by replacing "rd" with "brd" in the runtime configuration file for the modprobe command supplied by the module-init-tools package. Future releases of Fedora will not require such an update since these distribution supplied files have been deprecated following Fedora 16 in favor of kernel-supplied aliases and defaults. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Fri Dec 2 2011 John W.
