In that case, I must have made a change before that I forgot about. It's too bad these modifications are obliterated by the installation of a new OS. I think what I should do is put the insmod commands in a script that lives in user's home directory. There is a better chance then that I will remember to back it up before I install OS2009. I always had to mount my desktop system manually anyway, so having to run the script first is not that much worse. In fact, I suppose that I could put the mount command in the same script, in which case the inconvenience factor will be exactly the same as it was before. -- Jeffrey Barish
