module-init-tools in sarge is 3.1-pre5. Maybe it has something to do with the older version, or maybe you need this if you use udev or something else. I haven't really looked around for info on the subject but in any case I don't need it and that means with a somewhat typical setup it shouldn't be required (I never pull any fancy stuff and I have hardly ever messed with my modules config) cheers, Wim P.S.: I think we're all waiting here for somebody with a bit more knowledge to explain it to us after which we can say "ooooh, like that" :-) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
