So for the lsmod output cdrom 33568 1 ide_cd ide_disk 15936 7 cdrom is loaded because the ide_cd module requires it, right? But what exactly does "use count" mean -- the number of what kinds of things that require a particular module? In this case, ide_disk is loaded and used by 7 things which are not other modules. -- Thanks, Adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
