Then how about
/etc/rc.modules:
#! /bin/sh
# Don't modify this file, instead create a module loading script
# under /etc/rc.modules.d
for x in `ls /etc/rc.modules.d/* 2>/dev/null | \
LC_ALL=C grep -v '~$'`; do
test -x $x && $x
done
Should this file and the %dir /etc/rc.modules.d become part of the
initscript package (as well as a commented example using pcspkr)? It
looks harmless enough to make it to FC4 if approved. Bill ist the
master of this package, Bill, is it worth a patch in bugzilla?
