Then your not using Red Hat at all or you would KNOW they use
kerneld to load modules.

Wish I knew what that did too. It's in both version 5.2 and 6.0 of
Red Hat.

/boot/module-info is a sim-link to /boot/modules-2.2.5-15 if you
care to look.

} Don't worry Hamish. Karl seems to be a special case. He manages to create

Tomi, are YOU using the new ax25-utils from CSmall and does your
netromd from that compile work fine? I don't create problems Tomi I
discover them when trying to use the alfa level software we have for Ham
Radio. Not complaining. Just pointing out problems.
