Newbie Question (sorta :)
Hi. I was getting a new unix trainee to install debian today for the first time. They muffed choosing the right module for the ethernet card and made it all the way through the install. The question is: Is there any way to get back to the screen with the menu interface for loading modules into the kernel once you are done with the install or is it a once only sorta thing? It would make their life easier... otherwise I'll just start teaching them how to recompile the kernel :) Adam -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: Newbie Question (sorta :)
The utility for loading modules is called modconf. If you run it in an xterm be sure to have #ifdef COLOR *customization: -color #endif in your $HOME/.Xresources and have your TERM environment variable set to xterm-color.

Re: Newbie Question (sorta :)
I found it pretty easy: look in /lib/modules/2.0.30/net and see if the module that you need is there, if it is, edit /etc/modules to comment out the incorrect module, enter the proper one on a new line and reboot. If it is not there and if you have kernel source installed, go to /usr/src/linux/drivers/net and look at the source for the module to see if it has an example compile line at the top or at the bottom of the source file. Compile it, do a manual insmod to make sure that it installs OK, if it does, copy the .o file to /lib/modules/net and enter the line in /etc/modules as above and reboot. An example compile command can be found at the end of the 3c59x.c file (for example). if all that fails, make a kernel. On Wed, 21 May 1997, Adam Shand wrote: Hi.

Run /usr/sbin/modconf. It's from package modconf, which is required so it should be on every debian system. -- Tomislav Vujec [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- To understand recursion, one must first understand recursion... -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: Newbie Question (sorta :)
hi Adam, you go through the install again by choosing your keyboard, activating your swap drive, mounting your hardrives and then choose to configure your device drivers. I hope this helps Paul On Wed, 21 May 1997, Adam Shand wrote: Hi. I was getting a new unix trainee to install debian today for the first time.
