It's an ugly hack for modules that don't listen to 'blacklist'. The 'install' directive tells modprobe to run '/bin/true' to "load" the module. Because '/bin/true' does nothing the module is not loaded ;) See the manpage for modprobe.conf for more info. Regards, Andrei -- If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.
