Those might be considered "configuration" files and removing a package normally doesn't remove these. You could try "dpkg --purge kernel-image-2.2.17..." > Another problem: my /lib/modules/2.4.0/modules.dep file is empty, and > modprobe always tells me that it can't find the module I try to load. > I'm worried because i compiled sound support as modules, and i would > like to have those modules loaded on demand, using default parameters > (irq and so on), but i don't know the place to put those parameters. Create a file in /etc/modutils with the necessary parameters. I don't think the name is critical. Also, the file /etc/modules is simply a "list" of the modules that should be loaded. Mine has entries like sb, sound, uart401, etc, etc... Add the appropriate names for your sound card. Finally, run "update-modules". That will add the entries of the file you created in /etc/modutils to the file /etc/modules.conf. It *should* also create your modules.dep file correctly. You are using the correct version of modutils, right ?? Good luck! Hall Stevenson
