But I thought there might be a better (more professional way) such as somehow including something (a file) in /etc/sysconfig/modules. There used to be. I thought of (was suggested to me) using /etc/modprobe.d, but I don't need an 'alias' (I think) or an 'option' or 'install' with its additional commands. So... How do I just get something equivalent to 'modprobe tuner'? -- Regards Bill Fedora 10, Gnome 2.24.3 Evo.2.24.5, Emacs 22.3.1 -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
